Formigas and Dollabarat from Sao Miguel

That's a pity...

Fata morgana probably.

The Carangidae are a family of ray-finned fish which includes the jacks, pompanos, jack mackerels, runners, and scads. It is the largest of the six families included within the order Carangiformes. Wikipedia - just in case anyone else wondered... beats me how a beer barrel can desintegrate quickly... (depending on how many divers, the beer itself can be gone in a wink..)

The metal barrel was at 10m or so with a weight, hanging from the buoy so that divers could make noise to lure the mobulas from the deep. As far as I am aware, someone took it (it did not desintegrate...)

This is interesting..so the Mobula actually like to be "called" ? Hopefully knocking on the bottle with the end of your knife or torch will do the trick...

I don't know if they're attracted by noise, but I've seen them attracted by bubbles and divers. Unless the same divers go straight at them like human torpedoes... Some jerks I met just couldn't understand that...
