It was the time of year for them to be 'doing the nasty' so I think they were checking us out. Was awesome to watch once I concluded they couldn't snap the boat in half.

Not to take away from their intimidating image, but I believe they're "cow nosed rays" not bull-nosed.
My brother almost had a heart attack when he saw the back of one while swimming in the Wye River off the Bay. They're harmless (to humans) but big.
