Dozens of wild southern stingrays, some 1.5m across, gliding around your legs in waist-deep turquoise water on an open-ocean sandbar with no land in sight. Absurdly photogenic and completely accessible, no swimming skill required, which makes it the best family stop in the Caribbean. Fishermen cleaned their catch on this sandbar for generations and rays learned to gather for scraps. Dive operators noticed in the 1980s. Now a protected wildlife interaction zone with rules on handling, the rays are individually recognised and studied. Anchorage: Anchor on the sandbar in the North Sound, a classic Cayman day stop, sand bottom. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
