 Pictures have gone viral of a Manta Ray that was sadly forced.. Or should I said had no option but to swim through a garbage hotspot. Scuba diver Brooke Pyke caught the disturbing images whilst scuba diving in a bay in Bali Indonesia. The rubbish that sadly caused this hotspot is said to come to a network of rivers that run alone popular tourist areas. 

The Manta ray was said to also be feeding at the time and was finding it hard to separate their food from the rubbish it sadly was swimming in. In the garbage were tampons, babies Nappies, plastic cutlery, plastic bottles… to be honest, just think of what you throw away and no doubt it was in this rubbish pile… by the way, I’m not saying that you contributed to this rubbish… unless you were in Bali over the past year... Then sadly you might have.
