Don’t mind me, just passing through: One of the giant oceanic manta rays spotted in the waters off Pom Pom Island.
KOTA KINABALU: Divers at the Pom Pom Island off Semporna were treated to a rare sight – giant oceanic manta rays swimming very close to the surface.
The elusive rays, which were first spotted last Sunday about 400m from Pom Pom Island, are believed to have been roaming the area for about two weeks, said Jeethvendra Kirishnamoorthie, science officer at the Tropical Research And Conservation Centre (TRACC).
