Gardendog Posted February 28, 2005 #1 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Does anyone know of any outfit on Grand Cayman that takes you snorkling without the obligatory stingray petting first? We are doing the stingray elsewhere and just want to snorkel in the best snorkling waters around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevesan Posted February 28, 2005 #2 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I'm not aware of any operators who don't visit Stingray City. You might do what I did: booked Capt Marvin's 1/2 day trip which included two excellent snorkel stops (Coral Gardens and Barrier Reef) plus Stingray. At Stingray City I got in the water with about ten thousand other people and promptly returned to the boat. Capt Marvin has relatively small boats. There were about 12 - 15 people on board, but there are a large number of huge catamarans that gather at Stingray City. The kids seem to love the experience, but it was too hectic and crowded for me. To paraphrase the sailor in Apocalypse Now: "Don't leave the boat". I can also recommend shore snorkeling at Devil's Grotto which is about a five minute stroll from the tender docks. There are dive shops with rental lockers and rinse tanks. It's hard pan, but the shops have easy access. If you're ship's in port all day, do both. It's all good.

zydecocruiser Posted February 28, 2005 #3 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Captain Marvin's and Moby Dick offer tours, amd sure there are others. Nativeway runs a shuttle to Cemetery Beach/Reef. Lots of shore snorkeling you can do on your own: http://caymanislandsdiscounts.com/OffshoreSnorkeling.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
