Dive with bowmouth guitarfish, also called shark rays, at Wolf Rock off Rainbow Beach in Queensland, a pinnacle better known for its resident grey nurse sharks. The critically endangered guitarfish are a prized bonus among the sharks, leopard sharks, mantas and turtles that swirl around these four current-swept peaks. They can turn up year-round, with the warmest, clearest conditions from December to May.
