One of the favorite sights divers cherish seeing in Cozumel are the Spotted Eagle Rays & they are only present in numbers during the winter months. There are lots of Stingrays too but seeing a Manta there is rare & I haven't had the pleasure. It would be nice if you would also post what part of the world the photo is from as there seems to be variations in other oceans. Mine will be from Cozumel. You will notice that I try to get clean shots from above because there is a study group trying to monitor their movement using facial recognition software on the spot pattern which is as unique as fingerprints. They are not allowed to tag them & I assume they can't attach any form of transponder either.
