7th. Dive. Turtle Cove. Woke up late since we got home after 1 am. We went to Turtle cove which has a pretty and expensive dive operation. $12.50 per tank no package discount. Mostly kids and tourist. The pad coral fingers take the divers to the wall down to about 70 ft. To the left there is a nice size cave where a school of tarpons hang out. That was awesome. Sitting inside and watch the tarpons hang in there. Not much macro life but lots of fish hanging around. I saw 2 yellow head jawfish no eggs. A few snapping shrimp. Would have been nice to take the close-up lens off and do fish portrait. The snappers and red hinds were curious and came straight to me. I have to write a review of the ... read more

First dive. We flew into Grand Cayman late last night arrived just before they closed the car rental place so we didn’t have to take a taxi to Sunshine Suites. Good start. We caught up with Everet and Essy expert critter finders in the Caymans. Awesome. We signed up for 3 dives at the Lighthouse reef. Everet and Essy took us to the shallows north of the pier where we saw Tritonias laying eggs, pale jawfish no eggs. Everet showed me a dragonet with brown nose apparently very rare but also very skitish. We saw different species of triple fin blennies, sailfin blennies and squat lobsters. The 2 black seahorses that they have been photographing weren’t around. Lots of cling fish under the rocks on the shore line at the end of the dive. 28 ft ... read more

Well not much to say today. Viz was under 5 feet and I didn’t see anything interesting not even a diver. Some schools of shinies, disoriented barracudas that were getting way to close to me: Enough to make me nervous. A big mantis. Lots of nudis and skeleton shrimp. But no dioper no photos. : (... read more

It was my first dive after the Caymans and my eyes were used to see color so I couldn’t find anything in the first hour. Besides I had lost my diopter and I was using one that I believe is defective. I saw a crab hiding under an anemone that was sticking out of the bottom in an unusual way. I saw my first mating crabs, a crab with shiny green claws, a flatworm on a bright orange starfish, and a variation of a dondice doing a “dance”. All those shots were taking with the dioper and are bad. I wasn’t trilled with my photos and these are a few worth to show. 2hr 10 min. 7 pds on each pocket plus my ankle weight. 80 cc AL and my 7mm bear. Viz was crap so ... read more
