Hey dear blog-readers,

in this article I will present you a collection of underwater photos I have taken of huge stingrays lying in a depth of around 30 meters!

My diving buddy Andrew found them while this dive, I was only looking for sharks (and I have found sharks, but this is another story...) and we dived down to them to take photos & and I think we have taken videos too.


Here is my little collection of the sleeping stingrays, we have seen in a depth of around 30 meters:

A little information, I have copied from a Reef Care Guide by the Crown & Champa Resorts:

Most stingrays have a barbed sting on the tail, which is used exclusevely for sel-defense. Stingrays do not aggressively attack humans, stings usually occur when one steps on a ray. The barb usually breaks of in the weound, and surgery may be required to remove the fragments.

At least here you can watch my first video with another kind of stingray, a white spotted eagle ray, if you haven´t seen it so far:


Best regards from Berlin and hear you in my next article!
