Cayman Islands

Swimming effortlessly underwater while breathing from a tank of compressed air is an unearthly feeling. Weightlessly suspended in a clear liquid mass and gravity no longer exists. The only sound is your hissing inhalation followed by a bubbly exhalation.

The diving off the Cayman Islands is among the best. The clarity of the water is excellent, the reef is in good health, and the variety of plant and animal life is extensive. The colors, textures, and hues cover the full spectrum.

From shore, the ocean bottom gradually deepens to about 50 ft, then suddenly drops 2000 ft. A bottomless deep blue chasm. Cruising along this wall and observing the inhabitants is unreal. Larger animals like turtles, sting rays, sharks, and moray eels are seen but the really interesting stuff is the thousands of colorful small fish and their interaction with each other Chris and I took a bunch of photos but due to the lack of proper flash equipment, they don't do justice to the real thing. We had a great time.
