Why won’t you fit in my mouth!

All he needs is an underwater campfire.
Careful with those, you could attract a sea bear. Make sure you draw a proper anti sea bear circle around you.
But make sure to check the sea fire risk index first
Aren’t they dangerous?
A pissed off stingray is what killed Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter. Though that’s supposedly the only stingray related death caught on camera.
I still haven’t forgiven the stingray.
I know that Steve would say it wasn’t the stingray’s fault, that he was the one intruding and it was just defending itself, as stingrays do.
But I’m not nearly as good a human as Steve.
The main risk is that they can be very well camouflaged if they are sitting on the sea floor, so if you step on them by accident they may sting. Steve Irwin’s situation was a real oddity, as he was stung in the heart (he was swimming over top of the ray and it must have gotten spooked) - more commonly people are stung in the foot which is painful but not deadly.
Like most wildlife, they should be given space if you are unsure. But there are many tame ones that are fed regularly near tourist resorts, and they tend to swim up and tickle your legs when you stand in the water.
The danger is not they biting you.
From this perspective it looks like they are trying to mimic a hermit crab
