We seem to have the beat on the sharks as the middle of the summer rolls thru...2 sharks this afternoon while diving Grand Cayman north wall site Tarpon Alley East. First shark cruising along the wall was a HAMMERHEAD! Hooray! She swam with us just about until we reached the pinnacle, then disappeared into the blue. Second shark was a good size Reef patrolling the shallow part of the reef. Think Richter got pretty close but haven't seen any of the photos yet. On your next visit to dive Grand Cayman, check out Caybrew's new White Tip Lager. Both Stuey and I are in agreement that it is most tasty. Plus, 5cents is donated towards shark conservation with every can you purchase!

WOW! Diving Grand Cayman the last few days has been stunning! Yesterday morning we ventured away from the more frequently visited sites and tied up to north wall sites Andy's wall and Penny's arch. We came across 3 reef sharks about 5 minutes into the wall dive, then finished it off with spearing 16 lion fish on the shallow. 3 of these lucky victims became our appetizer later that evening compliments of Morgan's Harbour restaurant. With wind conditions still prime to dive Grand Cayman north wall, we tied up on a pretty new site known as Tarpon Tunnels. Unfortunately no tarpon but again about 5 minutes in and we found ourselves about two fin-kicks away from a 8' female hammerhead! Grand Cayman diving in the summer is getting hotter by the day people! Stop wasting time and book your diving NOW!

Ok Turtle Heads...We know its been a while since our last update but we've been diving Grand Cayman in search of the illusive summer time hammer heads. We've tried all the normal superstitious stuff like don't mention the word shark on the boat...and the not so normal of mentioning shark as many times a possible.......FINALLY the streak is over!
Our Grand Cayman diving adventure Tuesday afternoon took us to Tarpon Alley East and it's like she had been waiting there all summer. A beautiful 10-12' female hammer head swam so slowly from the wall into the shallows right past us. Happy Birthday Sara! So if you haven't booked your trip to dive Grand Cayman with us yet, do it before these beautiful creatures disappear into the deep blue again!
