The boat moored close to an underwater pinnacle rock. We passed over this to the island wall. The wall curves like an arc back to the boat and we dived along the wall which was covered in a kelp. Our max depth was about 17m. Sea Temp 19c (Jan 2008)

Beat J KornerStingrays congregate around New Zealand's Poor Knights Islands every March for mating, also attracting lots of orcas which feed on rays. This 6' sting ray just dozed in a gravel 'bed' before I accidently woke it up.
