Very nice! We saw a pair of them there last November.

Great video.

Last month, our final dive was at Little St James. We were back on the boat after the dive when we saw a pair circling the boat very close to the surface. A number of divers got back in the water to see them. Since that is a breeding area for spotted rays, we think we were interupting them. The smaller, probably female, swam off and the larger one returned to the divers. He swam along side the boat, breached the water and landed among the divers. We suppose this was his way of telling us to leave their breeding area. As far as I know, no one got a photo.
