Diving with Eagle Rays
Soars like a Bird
Like manta rays, eagle rays are among the largest rays. The best known and most popular species is the spotted eagle ray, one of the most beautiful rays and among the most desired to be seen by divers. These animals have the unique ability to move both forward and backward using their pectoral fins. You will never forget observing these majestic movements while diving with eagle rays.
Unlike most species, eagle rays are not found on the seabed, but live mostly in the open ocean in tropical and subtropical regions. They can also be seen soaring over or near coral reefs. With long and majestic bodies, they can grow up to 2.5 meters wide and almost 5 meters long, including their whip-like tails. Seeing these beautiful animals underwater is an incredible moment that will last a lifetime. Experience it yourself and go diving with eagle rays today.
