Description
Dasyatis tortonesei is a ray that tends to be seen close to the bottom, where it can blend into the seafloor’s texture and color. Divers may spot it as a subtle shape that gradually becomes clearer as it lifts off and swims. Its calm, unhurried movement makes it a rewarding sight for photographers and curious divers alike.
