On thurday June 2nd my buddy and i decided to make the drive up to Cape Ann Mass for a few dives. After stopping by the local dive shop and getting some local knowledge of best place to dive for the current tides and winds we headed to Folly Cove for our first dive of the day
After about 15 minutes of diving at about 25 feet deep, out along the right wall of the cove we came across a sandy area with what we though was a large, about 3 feet across, flat rock, after stopping to look at it for a minute we realize this was no rock but some sort of marine life...after looking at its large round flat body and a short tail we moved on...only to find the same animal later on in the dive on the way back in
After getting out of the 45 degree water and back to the road side to load the gear into the truck to head to the next site... A local came up to my buddy and i to ask about our dive and after discussing our encounter with this odd creature he suggested it may be a torpedo ray...also known as an electric ray. He said he has never seen one but had heard of a few but rare encounters with them
So i am posting this to find out if this animal is normally in this area or if this was an odd sighting?
any info would be appreciated
