Incredible moment swimmer came across a 2,000-strong shoal of rare rays

This is the once-in-a-lifetime moment a British swimmer caught on camera a 2,000-strong shoal of rare migrating rays.

Conservationist Jay Gittens, 44, initially thought the enormous 'shadow' below the surface was a whale shark or humpback whale.

Amazed Jay slipped into the water off La Paz, Mexico, and free-dived with the enormous group of Pacific cow-nose rays.
