We docked in Grand Cayman. After a light breakfast, we prepared for snorkeling with the stingrays and in the coral garden. At 10:30 AM, we left the ship by tender for shore. We waited for 40 minutes at the dock for our tour to leave for the snorkeling. Janee seemed well enough so off we went.
The stingray area was in shallow water so it was easy to enjoy. These large sea creatures are very tame and swim right up against you hoping to be fed. Feeding is interesting. They create quite a vacuum.
We spent about an hour with the stingrays and then we went on to the Coral Gardens. There we snorkeled in deeper water. The fish and coral were beautiful. The weather was great, about 85 degrees and sunny. I wished I had gotten an underwater camera, but there were none for sale that day.
To see what we saw at Grand Cayman's Stingray Sandbar tour, here is a link to another site where they got some neat shots!
