Every dive is so focused on the "big action" (i.e. sharks) that its sometimes easy to ignore the other wildlife in these very rich waters. I think the other fish get used to being ignored, because I had them swimming right in my face sometimes. Like this guy, who nearly bumped into my camera as I was waiting for hammerheads:
Normally, there are hundreds of marbled stingrays swimming about the Cocos sites, but they were making themselves scarce during our week. I wonder of the tiger sharks had anything to do with it (they love eating stingrays).
More pics after the continuation
I have seen that once in my life, It was in Malta at Blue Grotto and there were about 15 of them! Best dive of that year by far... very nice pic
