Stingray Point is a Utila shore wall with a sandy channel.
Stingray Point is a Utila shore wall with a sandy channel.
Stingray Point is a north-side Utila shore dive that crosses a shallow sandy channel to a wall, then uses a large crack and a farther-out slope as a natural turn point. It is a good fit when you want an easy entry, a clear reef line, and a strong chance of seeing rays and other larger sand-channel life, but the second wall rewards good route control because the dive can run long if you keep going outward.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth

Depth Note
A shallow sandy channel leads to a main wall, while a second wall and deeper sand channel continue farther out.
Best Season
Winter, especially January to March.
Typical Conditions
Shore-start sandy channel into a wall with a deep crack turn point and a farther-out second wall; calm days make the route easiest to track.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Stay oriented in the sandy channel and do not let the second wall pull the dive too deep.
Access Restrictions
Shore entry is straightforward, but the farther-out second wall requires a longer swim and clear route awareness.
