Common Stingaree

The Common Stingaree, a member of the ray family, is a captivating but elusive sight for divers and snorkellers. While encounters are rare (currently sighted at zero known dive sites), its potential diver appeal is high due to its unique appearance and intriguing behaviour. Typically around 32cm but growing up to 47cm, this demersal ray is a carnivore, likely feeding on small invertebrates on the seafloor. Although its depth range is currently unknown, it's likely to be found near the bottom in coastal waters. Keep your eyes peeled – spotting a Common Stingaree would be a truly special dive experience!
