entry description
After spending many hours in the water without any marine life in sight, my patience was finally rewarded. A group of Mobulas appeared out of the blue and surprised me with a performance. They graciously danced around and under me while the sun rays perfectly lit up their “stage”. Fortunately, my battery was still going strong and I was able to capture the moment they all swam beneath me.about the photographer
