Cayman Islands Underwater




Nature continues its drama beneath the waters surrounding the island: diving off Grand Cayman is world famous and I couldn’t resist flashing my PADI card and entering a whole different world. I was in the safe hands of Tom Yeo of Sun Divers at Boatswain’s Beach who took me on an exploration of Turtle Reef. We saw not only turtle, but also grouper, barracuda, parrot fish, blue vase sponge and a veritable underwater jungle of corals and sponges. At 40 feet down, the coral wall was still bright and colourful in the brilliantly clear water. Also at Boatswain’s Beach, I enjoyed a first class lunch overlooking my dive site at the Cracked Conch where the General Manager, Matt Moore, is from Nova Scotia.
