Is "Star fish snorkel" the same as "Barrier reef?"

Sorry if this has been posted, I could not locate a search feature on this board.

 

Looking at tours for our stop in Cayman. Have always done Captain Marvin's and was wanting to book them again (if it ain't broke, don't fix it :))

 

But a friend just sent me this link that includes a "star fish snorkel" and I am wondering if that's really the same thing as the "barrier reef" that's listed on Captain Marvin's three-stop tour.

In other words, are these the same excursions with different names, or is the "star fish snorkel" a unique/different experience from the "barrier reef?"

 

Thanks for any input!

The barrier reef is near to the Stingray Sandbar. There you will see soft and hard corals and various reef fish.

 

The Starfish location is near the tip of Ivory Kai Point, a couple miles southeast of the Stingray Sandbar. There are usually several pincushion starfish on an otherwise barren seabed. No reef and only a comparative few reef fish might pass by.
