Random Love (anti-rants)

I have snorkelled and scuba dived for a long long time. I have always wanted to get a decent sighting of a Manta Ray, prior to the Maldives this year I had caught a glimpse of the receding arse of two.
Last but one day of my last holiday I went snorkelling with a German guy i had hooked up with. I did not take my camera with me (of course !!) that day. Luckily Ralf did.
Five minutes into the snorkel this guy turned up and circled us for 5 minutes hoovering up plankton…. Ralf sent me this photo today....

Wow, that is an awesome and beautiful beast

Saw a gigantic one in the Bahamas years ago. Got the fuck away from it as fast as I could. My buddy told me that they're non threatening to humans, to which I responded with "until they find the first Chinese kid in it's belly"
Yup, city boy over here, I don't do non domesticated animals

Yep, that's what Steve Irwin said, too.

Wasn't that a stingray versus a manta ray? And wasn't he jamming his thumb in its asshole?

Does MmB know you're hooking up with random germans on your holiday, and not taking pictures? Sounds like you just put your foot in it ::)

Yeah, she know's what I'm like.
It's a real shame as she was not with us. She had intended to come, but the tide was fairly low and we had to swim over a small protecting reef to get to the drop off. Females have, erm how shall I put this?, a deeper draft than males, so she had to back off otherwise she was likely to have scraped some bits that she did not want scraping…..

Nice one G. Pretty awesome to see something like that come up to you out of nowhere in the wild.
I remember the first time I saw a shark when snorkling, scared the crap out of me and the shark at first, but then once we both new each other was there it was great.
If you or anyone else enjoy's diving/snorkeling, can't recommend Coralbay in West Oz highly enough.

@Hereforthebeer
Coralbay is now on the list.Talking sharks. Here's a Grey photobombing a Puffer from the same snorkel…..

A couple of weeks ago I sent forum member @Aetas a couple of things from my freebies thread, today out of the blue he sends me a stunning vintage Belstaff badge for my Trialmaster, which I love. Forum karma is a beautiful thing
