Check this out!
It is from the Sea of Cortez and depicts one of the four local species of Mobula, a small relative to the Manta Rays - the latter in plural as now there are at least two: remember? Large Mobulas can be distinguished from small Mantas by having the mouth beneath and not in front of the head.
I'll venture a guess and state that this is most likely an aggregation of Pigmy Devil Rays, Mobula munkiana, a small gregarious migratory species that is endemic to that coast of the Americas.
Enjoy and be amazed!
