About
Spotted eagle rays are among the most elegant swimmers on the reef. With their distinctive white-spotted dark dorsal surface and long whip-like tails, they cruise sandy channels between reef formations, often in small groups. In Baa Atoll they are a year-round resident, frequently seen at cleaning stations. Their graceful, bird-like wing beats make them one of the most photogenic species on any dive.
