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...

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...

Today was very relaxing. Our first dive was in a different spot over the same wall that we dove yesterday. Once again, it was beautiful. The water is a little bit darker 80 feet down. Everything seems saturated in a deep blue. On deep dives, the visibility can dramatically change. Most of the fish I saw were...

After a long, early day of traveling, we arrived at the Cobalt Coast Resort. The welcoming atmosphere and wonderful weather made a great beginning to our stay. Carlo Pier and I promptly jumped into the ocean for an afternoon snorkel to acclimate ourselves to the water. During the afternoon snorkel, the depth was constantly around 10 feet with a visibility...

Our first dive of the day was Hepp's pipeline and the second was Spanish Bay reef, names after the dive resort that had been located their before Hurricane Ivan devastated it. On the first dive, the coolest fish I saw was a juvenile drumfish. These fish were small black fish that had white stripes and a triangular shaped body....

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...

I dived two times and snorkeled once today and saw an abundance of colorful fish. I saw different species of parrotfish: spotlight parrotfish, princess parrotfish, and red and parrotfish. I saw them all both the initial and terminal types. While looking at one of the terminal spotlight parrotfish I saw it poop which was gross and interesting because I...

Today we visited the famous Cayman Sea Turtle Center where turtles are bred to release into the wild, provide meat for local people, and give tourist the ability to encounter turtles close up. In my opinion after seeing the turtle center and the conditions the animals were kept in, I would have to say I think the...

This morning I arose from my slumber at the obscenely early hour of 6AM. After waking up and getting dressed, I fueled my body with some eggs, bacon, sausage, and cereal. After that, we boarded the boats and got ready for the 2 dives. The first dive at a dive site called "Big Tunnels", where we reached a maximum...
