Today's dives were amazing. I saw some fish that I have never seen before and wow, they were incredible. Today's first dive took place at Hepps Pipeline and this dive site was extraordinary. As I jumped into the water and started to swim around I noticed some whisker like spikes sticking out from a little creéis in the coral....

Today I was awoken by a pesky alarm, our signal that the day has begun. We followed our normal routine for the mornings, a nice breakfast then a two tank morning dive. Our first stop for today Hepp's pipeline. This's dive site got its name from its unique wall which is shaped almost like a pipe. This dive was...

Day 5 began just like the others, a 7 am breakfast, on the boat by 8, and a journey to our first dive site. Our first dive site was called Hepp's Pipeline. Excited to start our first dive we jumped on in. Hepp's Pipeline gets its name from its half pipe shape. The walls on the coral fingers curve up...

I woke up today extremely fatigued from the busy day before but I was still very enthusiastic for the activities planned. We ate a quick and tasty breakfast with particularly tasty croissants, before loading the boat and heading to our first dive site. The first dive sadly held no wonders for me as I saw most of the same...

Today was one of the best days so far on the trip. We went to stingray city and went on two dives: Hepp's Pipeline and Spanish Bay. The two dive terrains were very different; One was a deeper dive along the side of a coral reef wall and one was a shallow dive on top of the coral reef. The...

Our first dive of the day was Hepp's pipeline and the second was Spanish Bay reef, names after the dive resort that had been located their before Hurricane Ivan devastated it. On the first dive, the coolest fish I saw was a juvenile drumfish. These fish were small black fish that had white stripes and a triangular shaped body....

To begin this morning, the group ventured off to the two morning dives along different coral walls of the island. The first dive was slightly deeper. However on the second shallower dive, I encountered something both startling and intriguing. As we were nearing boat, I swam just ahead to peer at a small group of fish huddled around a...

Today started similar to the other days previously this week, however, today I found it extra tempting to fall back asleep and skip the morning dives. Despite the temptation, I dragged myself to breakfast at 7 and then departed for the two morning dives. The weather this morning was relatively calm and that brought with it a very nice...

Today was our first scuba diving experience in the Caymans. We did 2 dives for about 60 minutes each which proved to be very exhausting but extremely fun. The first dive was only a couple hundred feet out from the resort and the second dive was around the side of the island near the 7 mile beach on the...
