Day 7
Today, our last day of Cayman, began like all of the other days of the week with a 6:30 alarm before heading to breakfast at 7. After breakfast, we headed out to our last two dives of the trip. During these last couple of dives, I tried not to expect much, instead I tried to let whatever happened happen...
Day 6
Today started similar to the other days of the week with me waking up to an alarm at 6:30 before heading to breakfast at 7. After a fairly small breakfast of cereal, we were bussed to the second dock on a different part of the island where weather conditioned were deemed better. Once we entered on the boat, we...

Day 2
Today I started the day by waking up at 6:00 A.M. and although it was early, it was much better than what I had to do the previous morning. After waking up and eating breakfast, my classmates and I were introduced to our divemasters for the week and we were given a general introduction about diving here in Grand...
Day 1
After a long day of traveling which began at 2:30 A.M., my classmates, teachers, and I arrived at Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman and we were greeted with music, as well as sunny tropical weather. Of all the highlights of the day such as the drive to the hotel which helped me familiarize myself with other students...
