In the video clips above I'm enjoying close encounters with some wonderful sea creatures. In Honduras and Turks and Caicos I had the opportunity to swim with and take photos of endangered Hawksbill Sea Turtles. In Turks and Caicos, I encountered a curious Caribbean Reef Shark. The two older videos of me with Southern Stingrays are from Stingray City in Grand Cayman. These stingrays are not captive or tame. The stingrays in these clips are following my hand because I am holding a chunk of fish. They have become accustomed to human contact through regular feeding. Stingrays have a venomous spine on the upper side of their tail. If they are molested or feel threatened, they are capable of inflicting incredible pain or death. Unfortunately, this was recently demonstrated by the death of Steve Irwin.
