Found an 4 ' eagle ray at the Invisibles site on our first dive (3/24/05). Folks at Wannadive where we rented tanks said he/she showed up 6 weeks ago and is now resident. We went back 4 days later and saw it again (picture attached if I can figure out how to do it; the shot includes a trunk fish that was buzzing the ray). Seems to usually be located in the sand at the edge of the coral at 30-35 feet where it feeds. Stay 10 feet away and watch it root like a hog in the sand. If you thrash around, it will leave. Also see many lettuce slugs in the coral at 30-40 feet. eagle ray

Great shot.
Must have been wonderful to "meet" the ray.
