018: Carnival Liberty, Eli's Adventure Antigua Eco Tour, These aren't holy men - there are very shallow flats where the little fish like to hang out to avoid being eaten. It is also where stingrays and birds like to feed. Barracuda hang around if any of the small ones wander too far from "safety". There are nesting grounds for turtles on the island, also.
