Stingray flying

A big stingray was resting, until my friend Allan came along and made her fly away. We are PADI divemasters. We took the Divemaster course in 2016 and we´ve been working with it since then. It´s an amazing experience to help someone become a diver. All the students have different motivations, some of them come because of their significant other. Those bring us the most problems, as they are "dragged" and sometimes are not really into diving. The person should be truly motivated to be able to overcome the fears inherent to the diving activity. Anyway, my point here is that when you take the Open Water Course, you face many challenges and you don´t know why yet. At this point, most people only saw under the ocean on tv documentaries. And when they do the checkout dive, the water is always blurry and there are so many exercises that they still can´t really enjoy a good dive. That´s why I posted this video. To motivate everyone who doesn´t know what they will find, this video shows what kind of amazing experience, to see such a beautiful creature start to "fly". With some training, you´ll get perfect bouyancy control, and be able to hover over all kinds of animals, and yet preserv the coral reef. This particular stingray lives there, in an area wel call "little pools" or, piscininhas in brazilian portuguese. It´s on the far right end of Laje de Santos island. We can always meet her in the same area, so it is pretty easy to be spotted and she always wonders me with her size, it´s a pretty big specimen as you can see, compared to my friend. She is very peaceful and presents no harm if you don´t try to touch her, as you shouldn´t to any life in the ocean.
