I met a manta in Maldives. We found ourselves in a small boat, looking for mantas with aid of a drone, snorkels at the ready. An hour earlier, we had encountered a small cluster but, having trouble with my mask, I missed most of the action. These were ‘reef mantas,’ not gargantuan ‘ocean mantas.’ Now the drone picked up a lone ray and began hovering over it, maybe 150 meters off the boat.
