Today was a great final day. The water was too choppy to dock the boat on our pier, so we had to take vans to another port nearby. The boat ride only ended up being about 30 seconds to our dive site. Trinity CavesThis was our first dive site of the morning. It...

From the moment I stepped off the plane and as I arrived at Cobalt Coast Resort, my expectations for this trip sky rocketed. The warmth, the music, and the service had a strong impact on my original perspective of the experience to come. I went swimming with my buddies, ate a great dinner, explored the coast, but most importantly,...

Today was the last two dives of the trip. On the first dive I was having trouble equalizing which was actually kind of a blessing because while I was trying to equalize a huge green sea turtle swam right under me. This turtle was missing a fin but was still able to swim faster than me, something I thought...

The roaring waves crash against the shore, filling the air with an inescapable salty odor. I took one final breath of fresh air, gather my crimson red fins at my side, and plunge into the oceans ice cold embrace. The day began with the loud beeping of my alarm at exactly 2:50 A.M. As a resident of a subarb far...

This morning we gloomily woke up around 7AM, disappointed that our last day of diving was already upon us. We ate breakfast and got ready to dive around 7:45. For our first dive of the day we went to a site called Sand Hole. Here, we followed the edge of a mini-wall, which was packed with coral, sponges, and...

Once again, we started our day all together eating a buffet style breakfast. We then started to gather our supplies and boarded the boat to go to our first dive. After about 20 minutes on the boat, we arrived at our first dive site "Big Tunnels". With the help of the two instructors, my partner, Nico Boyd, and I...

It's was hard to believe it was the last day of the trip. It's cliche to say it was bittersweet but I was sad for it to be are last day here while also glad to be able to go home. Our first dive was at a cite called Trinity caves, Both are dives where pretty shallow only reaching...

Last dives. For our last day in the Grand Cayman we dove in the Trinity Caves and the Chain Reef. The Trinity Caves consisted of a large, narrow canyons that formed a large U that we dove through. As we descended and began to enter the canyon, a huge Green Sea Turtle crossed our field of vision. Unfortunately this...

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...
