Today was a similar day to our third day in the Caymans. We did another 2 tank dive at our regularly scheudled time of 7:30 departure and headed to the reefs Lee had selected. We started with a dive at Little Tunnel which had a max depth of 100. Lee, and especially the teachers, put strong emphasis on this max depth because a few of us went too deep yesterday. Going too deep can be dangerous because of oxygen poisoning and the amount of nitrogen that gets into our system. This meant we all had to be constantly watching our dive watches and making sure we were being safe. Immediately inti the dive, about 5-10 minutes, Jack and I spotted another Hawksbill turtle swimming by. It’s jagged shell and beak like mouth have been drilled into my mind so I immediately knew the type of turtle. I wanted to follow it but feared I would be pushing the limits of the depth that Lee had been so strict upon. I obsereved for a short while and moved on to catch up with everyone. This dive was fairly uneventful after the turtle sighting but I still enjoyed the colorful reefs lined with blues, reds, browns, yellows, and sometimes pinks. Scanning the reefs I looked to my left and saw a 4-5 foot barracuda swimming by. This fish is a long skinny fish and is a bright silver color. I keep seeing these throughout my time here and have recognized their behavior of residing near the top of the water which my research confirmed. This was towards the end of my dive so Jack and I did our safety stop and ascended. We were all praised for keeping our depth limits and headed to the next site. Our next site was called Pipeline and Lee explained how the reefs seemed to form a sort of pipeline in their structure. This dive was another eventful dive in the first few minutes but was not so much after about 15 minutes. We saw another Hawksbill turtle and this time ot was at a depth I could follow and observe from. We ran out of stuff to see except for a passing by stingray. I identified the stingray as an Atlantic Stingray because of its coloring and almost circular body shape. It was accompanied by a fish which seemed to be piggy back riding the sting ray. This was around the end of our dive and Jack and I spent the rest of our time trying to blow O’s with our air which looked very cool as it rose. We loaded up after this and went back to the resort at 11:30 and spent the rest of our day hanging out and laughing. I think everyone on the trip has become way closer and we are all bonding with each other at this point. Tomorrow is the dive I have been looking forward to the most and is the Kittiwake dive, a sunken ship reef.
