Bucket list item achieved while standing on the local pier.

A manta ray just swam alongside mere metres away close to the surface.

When it swam over the boat ramp under the light (it's 3:30sm) I managed to get a poor phone pic.

Toot

Ran into the local pro underwater photographer today, who advises that was an eagle ray that I saw. Two species live in the bay here and use it as a breeding ground, hence their protected status.

And while chatting at the shoreline, one of the other species swam right up to within maybe 7-8m of us in the shallows, checked us out for a bit, then lazily wandered off. I didn't want to be rude and pull the camera out, and it was underwater at a low angle, so no pics of it. Another time.
