We went for an all day boat cruise with Ras Creek off of Caye Caulker, Belize on Monday and had a chance to wear full face snorkel mask and swim with the stingrays among the coral. It was AMAZING! I don’t own a waterproof camera, but Brandon (the groom whose wedding we were here to photograph) was nice enough to loan me his for a bit and these are the photos I took. It was hard to get photos under water – it has such a high salt content, you are super buoyant! This is where my shooting “from the hip” skills really came in handy!
We were so grateful that Melissa, Brandon & their family and friends included us on their adventures this week – it has been so much fun for Elaine & me!
It was so cool going out with Ras Creek because back in the early 1990s he was the one to develop Stingray Alley – going out there to teach about nature to the tourists and giving people a better appreciation of the world around him. Normally you can see nurse sharks there too, but it is mating season so they were off doing their thing. *wink*
We even saw a lobster while we were out there – if you look just below the rock, you can see it peeking out from there!

Awesome…..great shots! Wish I could have been there to hold your underwater camera! LOL
Mmm, forget the sting ray, look at that yummy snapper! 😉
GORGEOUS shots Christine! I loooooove snorkeling!
I’m totally blown away. wow!
these shots made me want to dive right in!… and I can’t even swim!
Awesome photos!
Great Photos Christine…we also toured with Ras over 2 years ago. Going back to CC in November and will go with Ras again. He made this awesome Conch stew on his boat after we watched him dive in 30ft of water to get them! I’d pay for just that meal!
