Stingray Point is a Boca Chica reef dive reached by a short boat ride, with a buoy set on the reef and a route that runs southeast over sand patches, reef blocks, and coral formations. The site is better for advanced divers because the main feature sits deeper than a casual shore reef and the profile rewards controlled buoyancy and a relaxed pace. The combination of open sand, structure, sponges, and reef life makes it a compact but varied dive rather than a long swim. Calm windows are the best time to let the visibility and structure work for you.
