Actually, many of you have probably BEEN swimming with stingrays, quite unawares... I came within inches of one while swimming in VERY shallow water at Coco Cay...

The wild stingrays I have seen in the Bahamas are not threatened in the least by human encounters... they see people as curiosities that sometimes bring them food.

The Steve Irwin incident was radically different... he was stung by a ray that was out of the water (in the boat, I believe).
