What the creator captured
National Geographic captured a remarkable encounter with a giant oceanic manta ray that sought out the bubbles from a diver's specialized mask for a 'bubble bath.' The team was amazed by the animal's curiosity and social nature at the remote underwater waypoint of Roca Partida. This unscripted moment served as a reminder that staying open-minded in nature often leads to shots far better than originally planned.
