Awesome!

Although, it seems like it's just showing off for the camera. Also, PraisetheCameraMan!

Isn't this exactly how Steve Irwin died? Also what a belly flop.... Or faceplant?

The tail on a manta ray does not contain a barb, which effectively makes them harmless to humans! Stingrays possess one with serrated venomous spines at the base of their tail, and that's what killed Steve!

I don't think I ever saw one of these above the surface before. What a sight to behold!
