I woke up to the delightful sound of the rooster again this morning and made my way down to breakfast to prepare for an adventurous day. The highlight of the diving was exploring the dive site, Bonnie's Arch. Captain Lee, our dive master and instructor, explained to us that Bonnie was one of the first people to capture images...

Today was our last day out in the Cayman Islands and we dove 2 sites the first called Trinity Caves which was another amazing wall dive that looked out into the blue and a shallow dive called Chain Reef named after the anchor chain that covers the reef. Of the two dives I would have the say...

Day 2 began at 6 AM, an early yet restful morning. After a quick, filling breakfast, we were briefed on our dive site, and how to handle ourselves on the boat. Loading all our gear on the boats, we prepared to leave and went to our first dive site. Upon arriving at the schoolhouse dive site, we were told the...

After many hours of traveling, we arrived at the hotel Cobalt Coast Resort, located on the Northwestern region of the Grand Cayman Islands. This resort consisted of many welcoming workers which made my day a whole lot better due to the traveling. A few hours into getting to know the place, my partner, Blake, and myself decided to snorkel...

I have now gotten used to my rushed pace in the morning despite trying to wake up earlier with the addition of more alarms but I once again awoke to the need for speed. After getting ready, we were greeted by the same buffet breakfast as yesterday which didn't bother me at all due to the high quality of...

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...

Today's dives consisted of two ship wreck dives which I was very excited for. Our first shipwreck was the USS Kittiwake, the Kittiwake was a former submarine rescue vessel that was in commission for 49 years from 1945 to 1994. Some famous feats of the boat include recovering the flight recordings from Challenger Space Shuttle's blackbox and intercepting Buzz...

First day in the Cayman Islands is done! We began with a long morning of travel, but it was certainly worth it for the first experiences from today. The main activity from today was having the opportunity to snorkel off of the coast of the resort in the afternoon. I was immediately excited to dive in the water and...

An early 6:30 am breakfast got us ready for the two dives ahead of us. Before we boarded the boat we where briefed on the basic rules and regulations, then allowed to grab our gear from the drying shack and head down to our boat, the Twin Sister. Once on the boat we where greeted by our two dive...
