My buddy, Gregory Pope, and I searched the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean for familiar types of fish. Near the shore of Cobalt Coast, we found and examined fish including Foureye Butterflyfish, Banded Butterflyfish, French Grunt, Sergeant Major, Princess Parrotfish, and Redband Parrotfish, additionally, while snorkeling, Gregory found a sea urchin. After we snorkeled, we identified multiple juvenile...

Arriving from the small clustered airport and witnessing the swell of the blue water was the perfect introduction to our temporary residence. After packing away our belongings, we went to the end of the dock to snorkel and acclimate before dinner. Due to the current moving southwest in the shallow water most of us only experienced the slightly less...

Arriving to the resort was a spectacle of its own. There is beach front service (food, pool, and a view of the ocean) with a dock that provides direct access to a patch of coral less than 100 feet from the edge of the pier. An hour after arrival, we went for a quick snorkel to acclimate to the...

Immediately upon diving in, I am able to see so many different fan corals all flowing back and forth as the current pushes everything towards the shore. Many...

Today was our first day in Grand Cayman arriving from the airport and to get used to being in the water our group went out for a shore snorkel. From looking at the reef I could see it was in fairly healthy by noticing the biodiversity of life on the reef and the presence of...

Today we started adjusting to the climate of the water by snorkeling off the pier at the resort. My Buddy, Jack Blase and I began looking for fish in the crevices of the rocks. We found sea urchins, banded butterfly fish, juvenile sargeant majors, and even a baracuda. This was our first exposure to the marine life and even...

Today I arrived in the Cayman Islands and went snorkeling off the shore. I was surprised at the abundance of marine life 100ft off the shore. I saw so many of fan and brain coral, which was really majestic because of the faint purple color and almost all of them were living. There were also a ton of sea...
