Stingray


Today we encountered a southern stingray, foraging in a small patch of sand in the reef, at about 40 feet deep. Unfortunately, it didn't stay long. This ray, about 3 feet across, swam away shortly after I took its picture.

Over the years, we have frequently seen spotted eagle rays while diving here in Bonaire, but southern stingrays have been much more elusive.
