Scuba diver witnesses large devil ray migration right above him
Solon is an experienced scuba diver who has seen many amazing sights in his 35 years of exploring beneath the waves in the Galapagos Islands. While diving near Cousin's Rock, he looked above and saw a massive school of devil rays slowly cruising through. These are also called mobula, a member of the ray family, like their close relatives, the spotted eagle rays and the manta rays.
Mobula closely resemble mantas in appearance, although they are slightly smaller with a typical wingspan of up to 5.2m (17 feet). They are named devil rays because of their habit of leaping out of the water, breaching in a spectacular display.
Most species of mobula lack a stinger, and in those that have one, it is encased, rendering it completely harmless. Mobula are sleek and graceful and a large school like this is a breath taking sight.
