Day 5 (07/24/19)

An easy day today. We started off the morning with two tanks dives. Our first dive was located at Little Tunnel. Immediately, we were confronted with a large wall of reef with a small hole which could only fit one diver. The hole began at about 60 feet and came through at about 75 feet. When we exited, there...

Diving Cayman Islands Day 4

Today was another fantastic day of diving in the Cayman Islands on two dive sites the first being called Little Tunnels and the second being called Hunt's Chute. The first dive was a deep dive down to the wall looking out into the blue which drops into the abyss with reef fish, big predatory fish, and a...

Sam Sudderth Day 6: Kittiwake

Following a great night of blogging, we woke up this morning and got ready for our second to last day of diving. We ate some grub and got ready for our first dive. The first dive sight was at the shipwreck of the ex-USS Kittiwake, a 251 boat. It was commissioned from the 1940's to the 1990's and it...

Day 2- The Day About Coral Reefs!

Today, our group dove at two coral reefs! After a short briefing and boat ride there, we stepped into the water at the first dive site. While there, some of the most common fish I saw were lots of tiny (1-2 inch) narrow fish with blue heads and yellow tails. They didn’t have the markings of bluehead wrasse, so...

Coke – Day 5

This morning I was slow to get out of bed because of the long day of diving we had the day before. I went down to breakfast and found that I wasn't the only one feeling this way. Everyone was more silent today than normal, and it seemed like jumping into the water could be our only way to...

Day 4 Cayman Islands

Our day 4 started with a downpour of rain throughout the early morning and ending just after breakfast. We arrived at the alternate dock and boarded the boat by 8:00 and began the ride to the first dive site called the "Big Dipper", just off the coast of 7 Mile Beach. My partner, Nico Boyd, and I were ready...

Nash Crawford: Day 4

7:00 AM breakfast came nice and early this morning. We were worried about our dive to begin the day because of some tropical storms that rolled through the night and into the morning. We drove 5 minutes to the other cobalt coast site to begin our adventure to the Big Dipper. The Big Dipper dive was going to be...

Day 7 Cayman Islands

As today was our last day of scuba diving in the Cayman Islands, we were excited for hopping back in for the last two times; however, many of us were exhausted from the many dives this past week. We had a delicious buffet breakfast at 7 and gathered our gear to board the boat around 7:50. The two dives...

Day 6 Cayman Islands

Today, our morning was like all the rest once again. We woke up at 6:30, breakfast at 7:00, and on the bus by 7:45 to drive to the dock to board the boat. Both of the dives included a mix of a ship wreck, coral, and marine life. We were all extremely excited for today as we got to...
