During the Belgian Expedition the team of divers worked south to Lady Elliott Island south of the larger and better anchorage of Lady Musgrave Island for underwater work.

It was here the manta ray (above) was photographed for Roamer Watches of Switzerland advertisement on the back covers of fathom magazine issue No.1 and 2.

Although a manta wasn’t a stingray (as per the name of watch promoted), the borderline photographic association was adequate and far more spectacular.
