Atlantic Stingrays like this one like to bury themselves in the sand, but when they want to fly , they can really go. Harassing these seemingly tranquil creatures can sometimes result in the stingray getting annoyed. I've seen several which responded to divers who approached to closely, by bolting out of the sand and spinning backwards, so that thei r tail spike faced the diver. Usually this is a good opportunity to see a diver "fly".
