Cayman Islands

On our way back to visit friends and family in the U.S. we stopped in the Cayman Islands to visit our friends Leslie and Adam who are there with KPMG. They have a great apartment on a canal at Snug Harbor on Grand Cayman and a boat too! We enjoyed tons of sunshine and spent a lot of time diving. We did 6 dives over 3 days. We also spent time on the beach and on the boat. We checked out Sting Ray City and Rum Point too.

It was a great trip and the diving was unforgetable. Our friend Cathy, who is also in Cayman with KPMG, loaned me her dive stuff for a couple of days and also joined us on some shore dives. Leslie and Adam were really nice hosts and helped us out with all of our diving. It was so much fun! We are so hooked on diving and can't wait to go again in November! Here are some pictures from our adventures. Leslie and Adam have an underwater camera with new strobe light, so we have some great pictures from diving!

Life's a beach! 7 mile beach to be exact...

Sting Ray City - if you can't tell, the dark spots in the water are sting rays

Lion Fish - these are not native here and are destroying the eco system

Can you find the fish in these pictures? We didn't see him right away either!


Lots of pretty fish!
