Spotted eagle rays have always been one of my favorite creatures because they are so graceful as they glide on the currents. I saw (and was close to) more of them on one Galapagos trip than all my previous diving combined! Truly a highlight of the trip for me.

Swimming through this school of salema was a great experience - they would part and shift around you like a living wall of fish. (Galapagos)
