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.

★★★★★ Labyrinth
You should have some experience for this TOP dive site! The reef top starts at 15m! and is a block about 80x70m around it are large blocks full of fish and soft corals. There is a nice little canyon and small breakthroughs! NITROX and DEEP Specialty desirable !!
★★★★☆ Beriyan Dhekunu Thila
Regardless of whether Thila or the nearby main reef BDT is the best Marco place, which does not mean that there are no big fish;) However, there are occasional “funny currents“ which are no problem with a guide who knows his way around! After the small Thila, simply hold the current right / left shoulder and drift
★★★★★ Kottefaru Thila
Great thila with many small overhangs that often serve as shelter for rays, nurse sharks and turtles. Soft corals and extremely many anemones !! Due to its location in a canal, a current must always be expected. We, therefore, recommend having experience with currents or a * special * dive.
★★★★★ Bajo de Fuera
Probably the best dive in the Mediterranean, it combines the spectacular protected marine life of the Islas Hormigas Reserve and the remains of contemporary wrecks from the 19th and early 20th century, spread over the slopes of the seamount, from depths of over 54m to a comfortable decompression at 6m on the top.

This dive site is located right next to the island. The long reef ends into a corner of the canal. Here you can see several highlights. A very nice dive site for beginners as well as experienced divers.
