Hi
Chuck Squire here.. These pix are from my recent vacation to Playa del Carmen(south of Cancun)..There is this place called XEL-HA...It's a freah water river that runs into the ocean..It's like a big water park where you can float down the river to the ocean..and the most important thing you do there is snorkel...the sting ray was very graceful and had a huge stinger on his tail...now here's the story on the BARRACUDA
You rent a locker at XEL-HA to put you wallet, shoes.. etc in and they give you a key..they have you put the key around your neck on a lime green draw string...so you won't lose it...okay? I came across the Barracuda..about 10 feet from shore...he was just sittin' there ..very still in the water...I'm takin' pictures of it...when I noticed it kinda changed its position and was lookin directly at me ..I could see its eyes kinda gettin bigger...then I realized I had this gold key around my neck ..it was like a LURE!!!!!..So I backed off very slowly and swam away..I thought about this later and considered myself lucky...I don't think it could have eaten me..but it could have taken a big bite....
Later
