A squid run...per Dr. Bill...attracted a bunch of Bat Rays and this Torpedo Ray. I'm still in rank newbie stage as a videographer but its fun with the GoPros.

I HATE bat rays... in May and June where they are intensively feeding on Chaetopterus tube worms in the dive park and elsewhere, they destroy visibility. It's worse than a platoon of OW students! One or two of them are fine as long as they are just passing through. However if they are mating, then I'm cool with it! Torpedo rays... awesome (as long as you don't discover them just overhead on a night dive!).
