The first stop for the tourist is in the shallow area where it is possible to feed the stingrays with some squid, the amount of which is strictly controlled.    The next stop is to do some scuba diving where you can really go deep and get close to the stingrays. This is “a once in a lifetime” experience that will stay with you forever.
