In the surrounding oceans of resorts like Hard Rock Hotel Maldives, you will come across several rays, including manta rays, eagle rays, and stingrays. You will spot these iconic creatures while snorkelling, each with special features that help you identify them. Manta rays have a diamond-shaped body with large wings that spread up to 4 metres. Eagle rays are smaller in comparison, with pointed pectoral fins and small white spots on their diamond-shaped body. Stingrays are quite easy to identify, as they have a round, disc-like shape, and they’re usually found at the very bottom of the ocean.
