- Description
- Is it safe to swim with Stingrays following the death of Steve Irwin? The circumstances surrounding the Steve Irwin accident are very unusual. Steve was in an area of wild Stingray's unfamiliar with human interaction and in very close proximity to Sharks. Sharks are a predator of the Stingray which would have made them extremely anxious and defensive of any type of interference. I dived with the Stingray in the Cayman Islands this year, at Stingray City, the Stingray's are only there because people feed them and this is not an area renowned for sharks as the water there is very shallow. They have been accustomed to people feeding and petting them for over 40 years and despite thousands of people visiting every month, there has never been a fatality there due to a Stingray. If you are ever fortunate to visit the Cayman Islands I strongly recommend you take a trip to Stingray City the experience is one you will treasure for the rest of your life. This video is me having a bloody good time with the Stingray!
