Fourth day in the bag! Today started off with our deepest dive, going down to 100 feet underwater! It was a super cool experience to see so much life in that space, both coral and fish. Super noteworthy fish that I saw today were lionfish and barracuda. Today was the first time I saw a barracuda, and I actually...

Today we did a 2 tank dive trip in the morning and stingray city in the afternoon. The first dive we did at a site called big tunnels was absolutely amazing with coral mountains that dropped down to 4000 ft, and I have to say it was the best dive I've had in my life. However I...

This morning we awoke to a more exciting day in Cayman. At 7 o'clock we had breakfast then got onto the boat for our two tank dive. The first dive site we went to had an arch with coral growing on it. Looking up at the arch with the sea fans and the sunlight shining down was serene. On...

Day 3 of the trip couldn't have gone better. Today is July 22, also known as the day of my birth, and spending my birthday underwater and at the resort with my buddies and teachers made today very special and memorable for me. I woke up to my alarm this morning, rather than the rooster, and headed downstairs for...

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...

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...

We had a very busy day today. After breakfast we went out on our two dives. Both sites were very pretty. I didn't see too many things out of the ordinary. I did look out for the terminal parrotfish amongst the initial parrotfish, and I was able to find a few schools with their...

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...
