Marble Ray shot pointblank @ Maldives, Indian Ocean




27th May 08, 2nd dive, we saw a large marble ray in the Maldives - about the size of a coffee table. Swam down with the others. I approached it within touching distance. It seemed aggressive - its back was raised and so was its mighty tail. But I was careful not to provoke it. Its tail can break leg bone - and it has a barb in its tail which can crush a man's chest.

(My watch and my camera were not sync to local time: not sure now what time this happened)
