Cownose Rays

Cownose Rays. As we were finishing a dive at Los Moros in Cabo Pulmo, I was about to get back on the boat when I notice a large group of Cownose Rays (Rhinoptera bonasus) resting on the sandy bottom. I quickly grabbed my camera and was able to capture the shot as they started to fly off.
