Tks for that! Thought it was but an Oz buddy diver said it wasn't. Rather large for that Cow tailed Stingray though.

The SCARY :eek: :eek: :eek: time is when you find a BIG one out in the blue and you CAN'T :eek: see what it came from:rolleyes:

Hi Eddie,

Various tools availiable, and we've recently altered the limits on the gallery so might be easier now:

Resize2mail online tool (http://www.resize2mail.com/) doesn't require you to install anything

XP Powertools (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx) from microsoft are free and enable you to resize files by selecting them then right clicking and selecting 'resize images'. (Installer (http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe))

Cheers,

Ben

Gosh, that would be scary.
Brown undersuit time folks...:D

Of course the correct course of action is to take out your trusty divers knife, stab your buddy in the leg with it and swim away as fast as you can. Then the sharks go for them instead of you.

...What?

OK, I'll get my coat. :D

Hi

Haven't posted here for a while, but saw the pic - it's a cobia -

http://128.227.186.212/fish/Gallery/Descript/Cobia/Cobia.html

Have seen one or two before - one in the Red sea and one in the Maldives, both while snorkelling I think, but can't remember.

agree with jeff99, NOT a remora - the lower jaw isn't longer than the upper jaw and that head on shot shows there is no 'suction pad'.

Ah, I see what you're doing!
You're not posting a question about fish ident are you?
You're just saying you've been diving on the Great Barrier Reef and wanted to show off.
Caught you out Eddie. :D

It's a great place to dive isn't it?
Ooh... did you see what I did then? :cool:
