Zach-a-ray was first sighted at Garden Eel Cove on November 1, 2004. He was very shy and only made a few passes outside the divers circle of lights. His claspers were very small suggesting his youth. His left cephalic fin was damaged folding back and down. It seemed useless. He was approximately 6 feet across his wings. Zach-a-ray is named for Zach Scott, son of Captain Danny Scott.
