There was a part about Manta's on a BBC doc last night. Wonderful to watch.
Did you ever read Dougals Adams's article about them? He wanted to compare riding a SCUBA diver swimming aid with riding a manta.An extract:
'We have your Sub Bug,' said a voice.
'Ah yes,' I said. 'Yes, the, er, Sub Bug. Thank you very much. Yes, is that all right?'
'No worries,' said the voice, 'at all.'
'Ah. Good.'
'So if you like, why don't you come down to the dive centre in the morning. We can check it out, see how it works, see what you need, take it out for a spin, whatever you want. We'll just do whatever we can to help you.'
'Oh. Thank you. Thank you very much.'
'No worries at all.'
Then he met his guide, Ian:
Ian had received a flurry of faxes about setting up the machine, and was pretty confident about it.
'No worries at all,' he said, and asked me what I planned.
I said it might be an idea to take it for a shallow local try-out before taking it out into deep water.
'No worries,' he said.
I said that we could then take it with us on the proper diving expedition that was going out from the island the following morning.
'No worries,' he said.
'So I will then spend a little time trying it out, getting used to it and putting it through its paces around the reef.'
'No worries,' he said.
'And then, er,' I said, 'for the purposes of this article I have to write, which is by way of being a sort of comparative test drive, I want to try the same thing on a manta ray.'
'No chance,' he said. 'No chance at all.'
