Stingray City

Stingray City is a shallow marine dive site known for its calm conditions and resident southern stingrays that glide around sandy patches. Divers typically enter from a gradual slope and follow a sandy bottom interspersed with patches of seagrass. Depths are shallow, making it suitable for beginners and snorkelers transitioning to scuba. Expect clear water with gentle currents and visibility that varies with weather. The site is part of a protected area near the North Side and West Bay hubs, with access commonly arranged through local dive centers. Common encounters include stingrays and a variety of small reef fish attracted to the seagrass meadows. The environment is characterized by tidal movement and a calm, shallow seafloor ideal for close interactions with rays in a safe setting.
