March Update

Hello warm south winds! Summer is hopefully right around the corner and Grand Cayman diving is already showing signs of change. We had several close encounters of Eagle Rays this week and a couple of really friendly and inquisitive turtles. We have started to clear the many lion fish that have taken up residence on the north wall during our very windy March. Congratulations to Reston and Renick Randall, Tommy, Jeff, Amy and Julie Keller and Zoe Barnhart for completing their Open Water certifications! Great job gang!

We haven't gotten much use out of the boat BBQ yet so make your reservations now and we can go play in the sun and sea all day!

Finally!!

The wind had finally subsided and we have moved Wall-Nut back to the north side. This weekend diving Grand Cayman will have us exploring sites like Eagle Ray Pass, Leslie's Curl and my favorites Main Street and Haunted House. This morning our Grand Cayman dive site was Tarpon Tunnels, newly installed this past summer. After getting several pictures of the Keller family leaving a most awesome swim thru, we turned right along the wall in hopes of running into a hammerhead shark. We had no luck! These sharks are usually seen when you dive Grand Cayman in the summer but occasionally we get a close encounter in the early spring too. Many more days to come so fingers crossed!

March Update

The wind has been relentless, so diving Grand Cayman in early to mid March has been cold! The water temps are still hovering around 79F and we are eagerly awaiting the summer temps to arrive. So far two night dives this month that produced fantastic wildlife. We decided to dive Grand Cayman west wall site, Paradise and dropped right in on a very happy octopus! The dive continued to impress with many huge parrot fish sleeping under the battered pieces of the Oro Verde Wreck. So many shrimps peering back into our light beams and quite a few dog-tooth snapper using the lights to hunt.

Pete we're all waiting on your Kittiwake pictures please and thank you!

Lion Fish, Whale Sharks and Manta Rays....OH MY!

Just Kidding. But diving Grand Cayman has been cold! Guess March has come in like a lion this year and brought some very gusty winds and surface temps. The water is crystal clear and warmer than the air! We have been diving on the west side enjoying sites like Orange Canyon, Big Tunnel and Trinity Caves. We finally got Pete Richter to dive the Kittiwake and he loved it! Two Goliath Grouper have taken up residence near the rudder. A hugh school of Horse-eyed Jacks, loads of Chromis, Wrasse and Soldier Fish and found near the wheelhouse and bow section. Oh and Stu found a copy of Hustler magazine floating around somewhere inside.....Not sure what issue it was....

Dive, Dive, Dive

This past week of Grand Cayman diving has again pleased many bubble blowers. On the Kittiwake one of the biggest schools around of Horse-eyed Jacks has made the wheelhouse their home. Several Spotted Eagle-rays were seen flying in formation along the north wall. We are convinced that the lobsters know season is over because they were fighting for holes and crawling around everywhere! This March diving Grand Cayman is sure to be exciting, especially as we slowly move operations north side for the summer. Don't wait......Come dive Grand Cayman now! Wall-Nut is waiting.....
