Today was the final day of diving until heading back to Dallas. Although a little sad, I quickly forgot about this as I couldn't wait to dive through more tunnels. Due to the weather and waves, we had to drive to a marina but the dive sites were in sight. Once we got our over view of the site...

This morning we woke up for a 7 o'clock breakfast. After voraciously devouring my breakfast, we proceeded to get ready for our two morning dives. The two sites at which we dove were called 'Big Dipper' and 'Anchor Chain'. At Big Dipper we went to 100 feet and at Anchor Chain we went to only 35 feet. These were...

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...

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...

I woke up today extremely fatigued from the busy day before but I was still very enthusiastic for the activities planned. We ate a quick and tasty breakfast with particularly tasty croissants, before loading the boat and heading to our first dive site. The first dive sadly held no wonders for me as I saw most of the same...

The day started with our first dive being at a sight called little tunnel, the previous sight from yesterday's dive that had the large "towers" made of corral with caverns was named big tunnels and as the name implied this site was similar but with smaller with smaller caverns and at not as great a depth. As we descended...

After an early wake-up and flight from Dallas Love Field, we made it to Fort Lauderdale, Florida; then to George Town, Grand Cayman; and finally to our dive resort known as Cobalt Coast. Soon after, our group hit the ground running with a quick snorkel right off the dock of the hotel less than a minute's walk from our...

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 buffet breakfast, we all boarded the boat and headed off to the first dive site. The dive masters made everything easy for us by preparing our BCDs and helping us put them on. Our first dive was at the location called the "School House" not far from the hotel. I quickly all leaped into the water with...
