Tell your OH the stingrays are small (wing span 3 -4 ft wide) on excursions, the one that got Steve was a Bullray and had a wing span of 12ft wide! The sting rays would hurt if stung but would not kill ya

Have done it a few times and loved it!!!

And These are not the ones you swim with, either. The ones you swimwith are usually the Southern Sting Ray. VERY Gentle
Wonderful, Graceful creatures

The ones in Nassau have actually been dbarbed, so there's a real option for the faint of heart.
