Keep an eye on the sandy patches near the base of the reef for blue spotted stingrays resting on the bottom, as they blend in easily and are easy to miss if you stay focused only on the coral. Because this site is accessible year-round, early morning boat trips often offer the clearest water before any surface chop builds up.
