Dance of the Devil Rays : Tobago's Magnificent Mantas

 

They weigh in at 1 ton, feature gaping mouths and have long whips for tails. At first blush, a sane person could easily be thought crazy for swimming with Manta Rays...but not in Tobago! In the rich, warm waters off this relaxed Caribbean island, lucky divers call encounters with these massive mantas the "Dance of the Devil Rays". This is their story.

Tobago is one of the few locations in the world where these schools of Manta Rays appear day after day, week after week, year after year. Swimming with these giants is like dancing a casual ballet, slowly spinning and pirouetting through the suspended weightlessness of inner space. And, here's a bit of reassuring information. It turns out these calm, curious creatures are every bit as un-aggressive and gentle as they are big.

As an added plus, Tobago's unique ecology--from the oldest protected rainforest of the Caribbean to some of the most unusual and undisturbed underwater environments of the Caribbean--amounts to a stunning natural realm. From the Blue-crowned Mot-Mot to the brightly-tinted parrots to the stately Leatherback Turtle, Tobago represents a diverse, pristine world awaiting your exploration.

"Dance of the Devil Rays" takes you there, above water and below, to meet Tobago's Manta Rays, the giants who have come to symbolize the innate strength and the essential wildness of this unique corner of the Caribbean.
