Stingray Beach at Cozumel offers a unique experience of petting, feeding and swimming with Stingrays. Stingrays are notorious for stinging with their barbs, but you don't have to worry here. All the Stingrays here are 100% safe as their barbs have been removed! You can pet them, feed them and even swim with these slithery, slimy creatures. There are scores of stingrays here which playfully swarm around you and you get to pose with them for a memory of a lifetime. Don't let the word "beach" confuse you, as this place is a private water enclosure where you don't come in contact with wild stingrays.

Stingray Encounter & Snorkeling: It starts of with you getting into your swimsuit and will be given snorkeling mask, life vest and fins. You are then given instructions on how to touch them, feed them etc. Now, you can proceed into knee deep waters where there are dozens of stingrays in all sizes. You will be given a handful of fish to feed the stingrays, and just dip the feeder fish one by one into water. Watch the stingrays come and grab the fish (gently) out of your hands!

I purchased the cd with our pictures on it. How do I get the copy right release so I print the pictures here in the United States?
@Anonymous above, if you have the CD, you can print pictures of your Stingray Beach however you want. If you lost it, they have your pictures on the website for a certain time (3 months, I think) and they will allow download if you ask by email: [email protected] .They won't claim copyright whatsoever if you bought the CD.
