Say Cheese!

Taking some time off from the grinds of daily work is a luxury in and of itself, especially at the beach or cruising in the open water of the sea in a yacht, then jumping overboard to take a swim or snorkel. How fun would that be, right? With water-resistant cameras, the experience will be captured and cherished in the form of a reel or still photo. For this couple, how surprised would they be after seeing a photo of them with a stingray at their backs and appeared to be smiling? The perks of spontaneity—credit to the stingray.

Related to sharks, stingrays are common in coastal tropical or subtropical marine waters throughout the world. They also have a reputation to be gentle. Stingrays usually burrow beneath the sand and swim in the open water. However, they can sting if stepped on by unaware swimmers or disturbed.
