Yeah, They aren't keen to be near people... These are Stingarees - this is a subclassification of stingrays... From looking up online this seems to be because they have a rear fin...
Can you get permission from Victorian Ports to dive under Station Pier. Back in the 1960s friends and I would fish on platforms under the pier and the water was so clear you could see fish at least 10-15 feet below the surface. Thanks for diving Princes Pier, water along side used to be about 11 metres deep.
That would be interesting, Although I think it would be a challenge to get into the water there, I'm sure the regulations would be a challenge, and honestly I'm not desperate to become fish food if they decide to do an engine check... My guess is it would be pretty similar to Princes Pier... but with less life... The sunlight at Princes Pier seems to have made a big difference to the amount of critters and plants there... I would like to do a few more on some of the other more varied sites around the bay... maybe it is something we can get back to...

Those Stingrays look timid and harmless, but only if you leave them alone. They swim like a bird under water.

@@SeaSpiritAu That's interesting, but if they still have a barb, you should be careful near them.
