オーストラリアの沖でダイビング中、世界で唯一のピンクマンタの写真をいくつか撮影しました。
This elusive creature:
—he’s only been seen seven times since he was first spotted in 2015 by a dive instructor—
shows up in the waters around Lady Elliot Island in the Great Barrier Reef for a couple of months every year.
That’s the only place he’s been spotted, and it’s where Laine was freediving when he lucked into a sighting that has produced the best pictures of the pink manta yet.
“I had no idea there were pink mantas in the world, so I was confused and thought my strobes were broken or doing something weird,” Laine recently told National Geographic.
“I feel humbled and extremely lucky.”
