Spotted eagle ray

Large schools at North Seymour and the central sites year-round.

Seen year-round cruising the walls and sand flats, notably at Half Moon Caye Wall; no documented seasonal peak at Lighthouse Reef.

Seen year-round along Baa's channels and reef edges rather than on any seasonal schedule, but patchy and unpredictable, so kept at occasional.

Seen cruising over sand and along drop-offs year-round, but as passing encounters rather than a reliable fixture.

Passing eagle rays are seen off the exposed points and along Bunaken Timur, sometimes in small groups, but sightings are not guaranteed.

Regularly reported at cleaning stations and along ridges such as Dirty Rock and Punta Maria, often in small groups. No strong seasonal pattern in the sources.

Passes through the channels singly or in small groups, more often on the drift than a guaranteed sighting. Seen year-round without a clear seasonal peak.

Passes through the drift sites such as Halik and Manta Point; sightings are occasional rather than reliable.

Spotted eagle rays pass over the reefs and pinnacles occasionally, more often at Koh Haa and the outer sites; never guaranteed.

More likely at South Point on plankton-rich currents (Sipadan closed in November).
