It must be a fantastic experience for a diver to meet some cute sea creatures. Kara Norton, a free diver, met a group of new friends, spotted eagle rays, in Bahamian waters. /VCG Photo

The rays, dotted with distinctive white spots and rings which cover their backs, are usually solo swimmers. However, the lucky diver came across 28 rays swimming in a group, and they seemed to accept her presence as she swam with them. /VCG Photo

The spotted eagle rays are common in shallow coastal waters. They usually swim at a very fast speed, although they look really relaxed and elegant. It is, therefore, not easy to keep up with them. /VCG Photo
