No, the barb is on the top part of the tail and not raised when they are happily feeding. Your biggest risk of injury is getting your palm nipped if you don’t properly hold the food like an ice cream cone for suction. That and tired facial muscles from smiling too much. These guys are so soft and sweet and used to people. I highly recommend it especially the 7am pre crowd excursions.

Yes. The water is about 4 feet deep and maybe deeper in some areas but I would have them wear a life jacket or you could hold the children. The younger one you may want to hold until they get used to the environment. The stingrays are very friendly and that can be a little scary at first. I went to Grand Cayman twice and never wanted to see the stingrays because it didn’t sound fun to me but the last time we went we finally saw them and it really is an incredible experience. I would advise trying to go when the cruise ships are not there.
