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 six is complete! The trip is sadly almost over. Went out on two more dives, but these were really cool since they were dives out to shipwrecks. We saw the ships up close and swam through the decks of two different ships. The bigger wreck was the Kittiwake, an ex-navy submarine rescue vessel. It was sunk for the...

It's the final day of diving in Grand Cayman and Luke Austin and his roommates make sure to take advantage of the day by waking up five minutes late and getting to breakfast last. After a rushed breakfast of toast, eggs, and sausage, the whole marine biology group piles into the Twin Sister for the last time and heads...

After strapping up my BCD and leaping into the water it was finally time to scuba dive, Today is our second day in the Cayman Islands and we had our first two dives. After descending with buddy's Sam and Brandon for the first dive a whole new wold was down below me. Immediately as I descended I spotted a...

Another early morning for us started out with our dive site being a good ways from the resort which was nice as we got to see some of the rest of the islands shores. The west side of the island in which we have mainly occupied for the most part has very rocky shores that also consist of tide...

Another early alarm and we were off to breakfast, preparing ourselves for our first open water dives of the trip. Before today I had only dove in a murky lake and was eager to jump into the clear waters. After our dive briefing, we boarded our boat, the Twin Sister. We met our dive masters, Curtis and Bernie, who...

Today's agenda had me excited to finally get into the warm waters of Grand Cayman. Although the snorkeling expedition was short, I was able to see so many fish and corals. Immediately upon diving in, I am able to see so many different fan corals all flowing back and forth as the current pushes everything towards the shore. Many...

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 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...
