Thanks guys, not sure what effect plastics have on mantas. The rubbish management in Bali is non existent, they will only fix it once it actually effects their tourism.

Thanks Giles, regardless of the rubbish I still highly recommend the manta dive at Nusa Penida.

Glad you enjoyed the video, we mightve have arrived during the heavy rubbish season on Bali but the rubbish was there almost everyday in varying quantities.

This movie was filmed during a trip to Bali (Lembongan), Indonesia in 2012. My girlfriend and I dived and snorkelled several times at a location called "Manta Bay" off the adjacent island of Nusa Penida. The Manta Rays congregate there to feed and mingle, however they are joined by a large collection of rubbish from the nearby island of Bali. The rubbish is so dense that it regularly enters the mantas mouths while they are trying to feed. This movie was created to not only exhibit the beauty of the Manta Rays of Nusa Penida but also to demonstrate the excessive garbage problem now hindering the coastlines surrounding Bali.

Surely there is a scientific permit that you could apply for to do chumming for tagging and research
