Wow...my first true open water dives today. They were honestly incredible and there is nothing else comparable to diving. The first dive was at School House reef, where I got all the way down to sixty three feet deep. I saw many angel fish and also even saw a lion fish in school house.I felt it really was just...

I never realized that the Grand Cayman was a dependency of the United Kingdom until I saw gold-framed portraits of the king and queen front and center at the customs for the airport. I became baffled and thankful I didn't have to drive as the change from how I would normally drive back in Dallas was drastic. They drive...

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...

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....

Like any morning, eating breakfast at 7:00, and going on the boat at 8:00. We set out to the first location, which was called Sand Hole. Sand Hole was fairly close to where we were staying, only about five minutes away. This was one of the deeper dives, since I went all the way down to 80 feet. Sand Hole...

This morning, once again, we woke up at the early hour of 7AM, well rested and ready for a busy day of diving. We ate a hearty serving of breakfast and then boarded our sturdy boat, the Twin Sister. With some help from our reliable dive masters, Bernie and Curtis, we safely made it to our first dive site,...

I dived two times and snorkeled once today and saw an abundance of colorful fish. I saw different species of parrotfish: spotlight parrotfish, princess parrotfish, and red and parrotfish. I saw them all both the initial and terminal types. While looking at one of the terminal spotlight parrotfish I saw it poop which was gross and interesting because I...

I woke up today to the rushing waves at around 6:30 A.M. I then followed my usual schedule of preparing all equipment I would need for the morning dives before heading down for breakfast. After enjoying a short simple meal, we all filled into the dive boat and headed out to our first sight of the day. The dive...

Our final day was no different from the rest. I woke up at 6:45, ate breakfast and went straight to the boat. Our last two dives were some of the most incredible and I saw the most exciting marine life on these dives. Our first sight was called the Sand Hole, a reef that contained many coral fingers and very...
