You won't believe this video: A manta stole my camera

[LiquidAssets]

This might be one of the craziest underwater videos you have ever seen...
We produce a scuba diving television show called "Into the Drink," and were on-location on the Big Island of Hawaii. One of our cameramen was capturing footage when suddenly, one of the manta's giant wings hooked his light system, and darted off with his Canon 5D Mark II rig. Our other cameraman caught the entire theft on camera, and the manta, carrying the stolen photo rig, captured some amazing footage of the nighttime reef. Remarkably, the camera rig was found completely intact after an eight-minute run by the manta, just yards from our dive boat.

Too funny; he's one lucky guy to get that back without a scratch. That manta did a pretty great job capturing additional footage too!
