Diver Swims With Giant Manta Ray Off Hawaii

As an underwater photographer, Kristin Kuba spends a lot of time shooting exotic sea creatures, but an encounter with a giant manta ray in the waters off Kona, Hawaii, really impressed her.

She encountered the ray while diving with Daniel Koval, a freediver, who was approached by the fish.

“The size of this creature was just jaw dropping,” Kuba wrote on Facebook. Credit: Kristin Kuba via Storyful
