A lovely and warm return to diving. We love Edithburgh.

And what a special dive.

This was an underwater photography course dive (being taught by SB). As we and the three students (Mark, Bel and Pieter) were about to descend, a beautiful ray - about 1.5 to 2m wide - swam gracefully below us. He joined us again halfway through the dive.

Here's my startled face as he returned and glided behind SB:



And SB captured him beautifully on camera:



Other fish? Yes of course there were.

A particularly stunning nudibranch too.

But Mr Ray's visit was definitely the highlight.
