Today we got up and had some breakfast in our room then we went out and sat by the pool before we went diving. It was a little overcast, but warm and sunny most of the time. We sat by the pool until we had to get ready to go diving. We left for diving around noon.

Once we got to the boat we got our gear all ready and headed to our first site. Our first dive site was “big tunnel”. We had dove there before, but it was a really good dive. Below is video of this dive. I got a new housing for my still camera and I had to bring it on a dive empty to see if it would leak or not. It didn’t, so that was good. Anyway, the first dive of the day is a deep dive. There are many “swim throughs”, which are basically tunnels under the water formed by coral. They start at about 60 feet andgo down to around 100 feet.  We saw a rare fish called a scorpion fish. It looks a lot like a stone fish. Basically it blends in with the coral and it is almost impossible to see if it isn’t moving. I have video of it, but no still pictures. Once we got done with our first dive, we got back on the boat and headed to our 2nd dive site. The 2nd site was Governors Reef. It is called that because it is straight west from the governors mansion here in Grand Cayman. I had my still camera with on my 2nd dive. On the boat our dive guide, Shaggy, told us they haven’t seen many turtles around lately. Well, we saw 2 right away. This was a great photo opportunity. We also saw some garden eel, a lobster, and other fish that we usually see.

After our dive was over, we came back to the resort and sat in the hot tub to warm up some. Then it was time for dinner and the super bowl. Its half time now and its time to get back to the game. We dive tomorrow morning at 8am, so it wont be a late night for us.

Here are some pictures from the 2nd dive:
