This was only, of course, after the manta ray hauled itself onto the edge of the concrete steps, receiving its evening sardines to the delight of onlookers. Nothing is lower than a manta’s belly.

I mention the trumpet fish only because I encountered one a week ago when I was snorkeling in shallow water, and was greatly surprised to see it, firstly because I’d never seen one in all the years I’ve surface dived in these waters and, secondly, because they look so surreal.
