Was she supposed to stop swimming and scream or something? If you swim open water in clear water I imagine you get pretty acclimated to swimming with marine life of all sizes. Why, yes. Scream, or at least speed up significantly!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/72638?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 Aug 2007 16:23:52 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:82e546de-1ef9-45ad-b16d-9d849e39ad4eFormer MemberWhat makes them think she didn&#39;t see it?

A friend snorkelling off Boca De Iguana met face to face with Poncho the 14 foot croc. He swam away from it and got behind some rocks. There he found a baby whale and a couple of minutes later the baby whales mother appeared. He left the water in a hurry.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/72459?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 Aug 2007 15:55:56 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:0852503b-276e-412e-b9de-9c75f5598307Former Member(Sorry I posted this twice, I&#39;m not sure how to erase it, just edit!) How did she not see it?! I would have freaked out! Although I have read that they are harmless to people, and have the biggest brains of any fish.

They passed on each other&#39;s left... :D Aha, that&#39;s it! They realized the swimmer and the ray didn&#39;t see each other because otherwise the swimmer would have stopped and asked the ray whether it wanted to circle-swim or split the lane :)<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/72606?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 10 Aug 2007 12:21:44 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a3b0ac5a-6339-4840-b7de-1cc75b386ecbknelsonWhat makes them think she didn&#39;t see it?
