From these pics, you can easily have swam past this graceful creature if you are not looking carefully. We often see these big sting rays in our dives in West Caicos and they often see divers so there is no surprise or reaction from them when we invade their private spaces.

Every so often, Joana would see one come up to shore and just swim around the beach looking up out of the water now and then.

Oh did I tell you that the locals serve rays on the menu if you are lucky enough to be there on the day of the special!

See my previous posts HERE, will be back next week!
