22. No

Wild mantas can behave the same way. I mean mantas in areas where divers are rare or have never before been.

I don't know what was going on with the manta and the tiger shark, but mantas don't have much in their defensive arsenal other than speed and the ability to leap clear of the water, so a tiger shark wouldn't have a whole lot to fear from a manta. Mantas are plankton feeder, basically, feeding on shoals of smallish fishes at best.
