Bat Ray at Breakwater

[Bogie]

I saw 4 or 5 foot Bat Ray last week (9th) at Breakwater. It scared me at first. This huge black swimming creature came up to me suddenly and silently. It swam around me only a few feet away. What a beautiful sleek animal. I took a 15 second video from my Sealife camera but I don't know how to post it.

What a thrill.

You never know what you will see in the sea. It is always an adventure.

Way cool! We have been seeing them in Mendocino lately. My friend spotted one over the weekend that he said was the biggest he had ever seen, just North of the Albion river. We saw a small one around 3 feet, at Caspar, a few weeks ago.

The more I dive up North the more I am liking it.
