STINGRAY CITY To 12’ (4m) Regarded by all divers as the
world’s best 12’ (4m) dive, this wonderful dive takes place on a
sandy seafloor in Grand Cayman’s North Sound. Here, divers
interact with Grand Cayman’s extraordinary fleet of southern
stingrays, plus accompanying yellowtail snappers, gray snappers,
sergeant majors, and a few lovely green moray eel specimens. The
attraction for all of the thousands of divers and snorkelers who
come here in endless tour boats is up-close-and-personal encoun-
ters with the friendly stingrays. The attraction for the stingrays
is the yummy squid handouts that the dive masters bring. It is a
spectacle not to be missed. Note: Divers and snorkelers should
leave the feeding to the dive professionals who guide the tours.
Also, keep your fingers out of harms way from the poor-sighted
green morays. This is a spectacle not to be missed!
