How To Take The Picture Of The Manta Ray

First, you need topick up the fallen light.Then you mustpick up the connector plugand plug it into the generator to the right. Once you’ve done this, the lights will come on.

Next, you must head over to the area marked above the lights touse the Lure Capsuleto attract the manta rays.

Once the manta ray arrives, you’ll be tempted to swim right up to the photo location as normal to take your snapshot, but as soon as you do this, the manta will swim away and you’ll get the game over screen.

Instead, don’t go right up to the camera icon,only go as close as you need to to make the prompt button appear on the screen, just a little to the right of the light closest to you (as shown below).
