Answer

What should you do if you see a large stingray while snorkeling or diving in Mallorca?

The best approach is to stay calm, keep your distance, and avoid touching or chasing the animal. A stingray is usually resting or passing through and will move away on its own if it feels no disturbance. In Mallorca, the same rule applies to most marine wildlife: observe quietly and let the animal remain undisturbed.
