Additional comments:
This photo was taken by our boat captain mid July 2007 as we were diving off a small island known for manta sightings - Sangalaki Island, north-east Kalimantan.
Unfortunately we didnt get to see it but the photo was a bonus.
The size was estimated against the size of the boat so it is relatively accurate.
I hope it is useful for your research.
