During the trip, the captain stops to free dive for live conch using only breath-hold techniques, demonstrating a traditional method without tanks or equipment. This dive highlights the local cultural practice tied to the sea. Upon arrival at Gibbs Cay, guests meet the resident stingrays in shallow waters about 2 feet (6 meters) deep. A guide provides information on stingray habitats, breeding, and their relationship with humans. The environment is safe for all ages, including children and non-swimmers.
