There is a real unique phenomenon, called Stingray City, where it is possible to swim with and observe large and tame stingrays in only 2-3 metres of water. Their mouths are beneath their head and the rays, a metre and a half across, swim into your arms to be fed. They've got no teeth, but they generate more sucking power than a vacuum cleaner. You can play with them leading them around. All you need is to keep a piece of squid in your fist and they come to you. It was fun to feed and lead the rays,but kind of shocking when other rays would brush my legs from behind.In spite of that I even caught one of them and held it in my arms, encouraged by the captain from our boat.

Great pics, Lodwick! Animation, already yet!

How can anyone resist those calm azure and turquoise waters?

Don't know about the sting rays, though! My style tends more to shrimp cocktails.
