Soaking the wound in hot water put him at ease... apparently it breaks down the serotonin, or perhaps the phosphodiesterase enzyme, causing the pain. Easy fix compare to, say, a rattlesnake bite. Then there's the wound itself...

I've seen tons of rays (all kinds) from above while snorkeling. For the first time ever, yesterday late afternoon/early evening as I was shuffling my way back to shore at La Madera, I disturbed a small, golden-brown diamond-shaped ray, who scooted away. The water was lower than ankle-deep and I didn't see him before he moved. No one was in the water when I went in, and only two teenagers were near the shoulder-deep water as I walked back out, so there may be lots of them in there chilling while the people are finally gone!
