Ray Point in Sosua offers a straightforward reef dive, popular for its consistent rays. We often spot southern stingrays resting on the sandy bottom, sometimes even eagle rays gliding past. The reef itself is healthy, a mix of hard and soft corals, with plenty of smaller reef fish flitting about. It’s a comfortable dive, well-suited for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon.
