Entrance

I was free diving at home, in QLD Australia when I looked down and saw this, HUGE Ray below me swimming through a huge school of fish. They all parted around the huge male and he swam off and buried i=himself in the sand on the edge of the reef.

The tiger and the reef fish look like they are about to square off. I love marine predators and my wife and I were able to see this sigh and be lucky enough to capture this image.
