Mobula rays are a large species of rays that make very deep dives to forage. It is thought that they come up to the surface to warm up after these deep dives. For this particular dive I was hanging onto a rope that disappeared into the deep below you. After waiting for almost an hour these graceful creatures suddenly popped up and were swimming around us. Taken on Maria Island, Azores.
CC is welcome!
nice gradation and light striking the rays i need to buy myself an underwater housing
Thanks Joseph!
Great capture! Thanks for giving us a glimpse of these creatures and the underwater world.Thanks for letting us know how it unfolded. Words always (mostly) add to an image.
Thanks Geoff!
