I saw a stringray jump out of the water when it was being chased by a
nurse shark, a very impressive sight.

I used to fish that area quite a bit. On more than one occasion, I would
be sitting quietly fishing, and a ray would crash back into the water.
It would startle the hell out of you.

On another occasion, I was about to pull a snapper into the boat, when @
5' barracuda decided he wanted it. That sucker cleared enough water that
I was literally looking up at it. Now, that was an impressive sight.
All that remained of the snapper, was the head.

Catching "heads" is rather common around reefs and wrecks.
