Favorite Dive Location:

Grand Cayman - East End

From my experience, the East End of Grand Cayman provided the most colorful diving! The water was in the 80’s all week long and the visibility was easily 100 feet. Everywhere I turned the reefs were flourishing and teeming with life. The East End is the “less traveled” side of Grand Cayman so much of the coral looked untouched. We say many animals there from all sorts of fish to turtles, sharks and even eagle rays

Most Memorable Dive:

Looe Key Reef

My first dive at Looe Key Reef was also my first ocean dive. I was certified when I was 12 and had only experienced Ohio’s quarries, so I had no idea what to expect giant striding into the ocean for the first time, only a few months after my certification. Another reason this dive was special is because it was my first dive with my grandparents, who set me on the path of diving in the first place! I’ll never forget how it felt to dive with my family. I remember being so excited that I didn’t think twice when I saw my favorite animal, a shark! I wanted to follow it, but my grandma grabbed my fin before I could. Looe Key was special for these reasons, but it was also a beautiful dive site that is a finger coral system. There were loads of colorful fish and the reef was easy to navigate. I have since been back and it is still as gorgeous as I remember!
