Stay out of the water?
In Grand Cayman there is a tour that takes you to swim with stingrays (Stingray City, I think they call it). There are many...many stingrays that swim all around you. You swim with fins and goggles. I thought it was one of the most interesting tours there.
It’s snowing here. No chance of meeting up with any stingrays.
Why can’t they just put out some stingray free zone signs in the places people want to swim? Those stingrays have plenty of other areas they can use. It’s not fair.
I think I came closely stepping on a Stingray. I’m not sure if it was a Stingray. It had a clear translucent body. Not sure if Stingrays are clear. I recall running through the beach with my cousins and all of sudden, for some unknown reason, I immediately stopped and looked down and saw this thing that had a tail. I realize I almost came to stepping on it. I believe it was in the Santa Cruz Beach.
never walk. always keep your toes sliding under the sand.
I lived there for most of my life until my mid 20's and never heard of it.
Saw eagle rays scuba diving years later, sure.
I’ve never encountered a stingray in the wild, but last time we went to the aquarium in Virginia Beach, we visited the ray tank. One of those little fellows kept swimming up to me, poking his head out of the water to be patted.
I friggin’ HATE stingrays. If you spend much time wade fishing warm waters you’d understand why.Sharks too.
Went on a trip to the Chandaleur Islands in October. One of the deckhands/guides on the mother ship had been stung by a ray a couple of weeks before. Had a hole in his calf you could stick your little finger in.
Sharks everywhere too. Had a couple of close encounters. Nothing will get your attention quite like standing in waist deep water and having a shark brush up against your leg.
I HATE’EM!!!
