Stunning dive footage from the Islas Revillagigedos
The Islas Revillagigedos (say reviya-he-heydos)
lie in the Pacific only 386 kilometers SW of Cabo San Lucas, but belong to the municipality of the state of Colima......
Enjoy this amazing footage of hammerheads and other wonders from Jesse's Las Tres Virgenes Facebook page.......

To answer your question, durrelllrobert,
This is from Robert Heil's website,
and specifically about the mantas at the Revillagigedos
"Giant Manta Rays . The Manta Genus is comprised of two species of rays: Reef Manta Rays and Oceanic Manta Rays. The Oceanic Mantas are the largest
rays in the world. Wikipedia claims that the largest recorded such Manta was more than 25 feet across, with a weight of about 2,400 pounds.
Interestingly, Manta Rays have the largest brain-to-body ratio of all members of the subclass of cartilaginous fish that includes sharks, rays, and
skates. This ratio is so high that it approaches the ratio found in mammals.
Mantas, just as their cousins sharks, skates, and other rays, do not have bones. Instead, their body structure is composed entirely of cartilage.
They are primarily filter feeders; and, to help funnel plankton and other small creatures into their mouths when they filter feed, they unfurl their
large cephalic fins, on each side of their mouths. Although they are closely related to the stingray family, they do not possess a stinger. Thus,
except for their large size, they are not dangerous to humans."

Okie,
I just spoke to Johnny Friday (the videographer) and he told me he would get back to us on the music and artist.
He sounds like a really interesting guy, and he also is a partner in Baja Eco Tours at San Ignacio Lagoon.....

That is a great use of the rebreathers! Made all the difference in the video. Wonder if they are the modern versions of the Pirelli rebreathers from
long ago.
