We are coming to the end of the trip and only have one more day of diving which is pretty disappointing. The trip has seemed to fly by and I have lost count of the days. Today was my favorite day of diving because we dove at shipwrecks called the Kittiwake and the Doc Poulson. The Kittiwake, a shunken...

This morning, the group and I began the day with a wonderful breakfast of eggs and pancakes. The Twin Sister voyaged us out towards the site. Our first dive of the morning took place in the Big Tunnels. Dive master Bernie lead our group down into the depths of the sea to depths near 80 to 100 feet. My...

Today we woke up early and had a nutritious breakfast before heading out to two different shipwrecks: Kittiwake Wreck and the Doc Paulson. Both sites were really cool, and it was very interesting to see the levels of algae and coral growth on them. The USS Kittiwake was first commissioned in 1946, and it was used as a Chanticleer-class submarine...

We started day 3 with breakfast and getting immediately on the boat. Our first dive was Bonnie's arch, named after the late Bonnie who was one of the earliest videographers on the island. On this dive my favorite part was definitely the corals and sponges. I spent most of my time looking at and examining branching vase sponges. The...

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...

Today began with a little later start, we were given 30 more valuable minutes to sleep before we needed to come down for breakfast at 7am. Post breakfast we gathered up our equipment and then were herded towards the boat to embark for our 2nd day of diving. Our first stop was a site called big tunnels which consisted...

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...

On day 3 of our Caribbean adventure, our first tank dive took us to Bonnie's Arch where we descended into the water and we were met with a beautiful reef wall. We made our way through an arch covered in beautiful reef with the bright sun highlighting the coral. Gregory and I inspected each nook to find hidden treasure...

Our fourth day started out with 2 tank dives. Our first dive was the deepest yet, 100 feet. There was a massive drop off to the bottom of the ocean, around 4,000 feet, on the corner of the dive. The reef was gorgeous and there were many canyons where we could swim through and inspect each nook and cranny...
