Meet the manta rays of the Kona Coast of Hawaii
Dive into a world of discovery about the gentle giants of the sea
Since 1998, we have been compiling a database of individual manta rays that are sighted along the West side of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Every manta ray gets a name; read more about the process of identifying and naming a new manta ray on this page!
Each manta ray has a unique spot pattern which allows us to identify and monitor them. The information we collect is often used and analyzed by third parties – you can read about our contributions to citizen science here or view older statistics on this page.
Browse our collection of pictures, video clips, descriptions and stories below. And if you’re lucky enough to have spotted one of these gentle giants on a manta ray dive, you can share your story on their page!
