We spent Wednesday afternoon at the newly inaugurated Portland Aquarium.

Cameron was by the Manta rays en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manta_ray at the fish pond, they hardly ever moved, but the kids could pat them with two fingers only.
Cameron pointed out for us a tiny fish which he called "tongue fish". He also told us about his studies with the marine research vessels for two years. He seemed dedicated and content with his duties at the Aquarium.

Weapons effect = green laser (in camera shot, no photo-shopping)
A worthy opponent for the Canard Fighter Craft v02.

Started to play with quadrilateral and single strand layering (with an aircraft in mind) and came up with this design. This one is based sort of on a manta ray shape.
It started out with a central two layered strand.Then for each layer outward, an inter-meshed (non-parallel) single strand chain (layer) was added to the sides. Then the next layer was added on top. Then repeat alternating top and bottom layers to create the staggered layering.
Wing layering follows same the alternating top and bottom layering scheme radiating outward with symmetric wing lines.
The engine tubes are 2 x (6-hex rings x 7 = outer) and 2 x (6-hex rings x 8 = inner) with a single chain spacer. Cover is two extended hexagons modded.
The cockpit are modified stacked extended hexagons.
Front cephalic lobe tips and wing tips are folded modified stacked extended hexagons.
The area between the cockpit and the engines is hexagon stacked with a folded modified larger hexagon with front layers removed.
4 x 4-ball coupled chain with hexagon from makes up the front gun.
Think of building the base shape one chain strand at a time like the rigid stick method with staggered layering to get the non-straight edging.

To give an idea of the state of the divesite. There's lots of sand, so when there's a lot of current the sand silts things up.
This was my 500th dive and our group of 6 and 30 other divers (about 12 boats!) were all desperately looking for Mantarays. At 30 bar and at the end of the dive a single Manta glided into my view and made my 500th a great one to remember. Alas, no photo, but the Manta was huge. At least 3 metres in wingspan.
Snorkeling at the cleaning station at Manta Point off Nusa Penida near Bali, Indonesia. We saw at least 12 individual manta rays with wingspans up to 3+ meters. The mantas circled around the cleaning station to get nibbled by little fish.
Shot at Sea World in Orlando. My Girlfriend and I were feeding the Manta Rays. They pop right out the water ready to indulge in the feeder fish in our hands.
