While scuba diving in Mexico back in 1988, an entire school of them swam by us. What a magical moment it was!

Ooops! Physical Differences between Manta Rays and Stingrays
Manta rays can grow to be up to 23 feet long, while stingrays max out at around six feet in length. Manta rays also have a much wider wingspan than stingrays. Another key physical difference is that Manta rays have no barb on their tail, while stingrays do.

Nhuca , yes … On 4 September 2006, Australian zookeeper, conservationist, and television programmer Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray while filming in the Great Barrier Reef. The stingray's barb pierced his chest, penetrating his thoracic wall and heart, causing massive trauma.
