3 is a magic number

Why do one wall dive when you can do three? And that's how it turned out when we jumped in on McCurley's Wall. And then onto Babylon. And then onto Julie's Wall. And then back again. Talk about value for money.Unfortunately there wasn't any big stuff to come out and play with us today, that and a fair amount of swell at the surface made it a bit of a lumpy ride for most of the boat. Still, with epic scenery like this, what's there to complain about?We moved over to the Omega dive site (which I hadn't done before) and passed our surface interval watching most of the divers turn various shades of green. Poor souls. I must say that this particular...

Time in a bottle

Multiple cold fronts have made it really difficult to get any diving done the last couple of weeks, so in the meantime enjoy a short film clip by Sandro Bocci that's just been released called ...Meanwhile.....This is a short film created during the "Porgrave" shooting, the latest film by Sandro Bocci, that will be released in late 2015. ...Meanwhile... shows the world of marine animals like corals and sponges, at high magnification and during long time span through the timelapse. And by the looks of it mostly shot under UV lighting. You can watch it below or via the link.Which reminds me that I really need to get in the water and test my new UV light. Maybe this weekend.......Link: HERE...

Leaving on a jet plane

Link: HERE Our friend, Kate Clayton, who some of you may know from Tortuga Divers here on Grand Cayman, was involved in a major road accident on the 11th Jan which resulted in serious head and spine injuries with the possibility of permanent paralysis and brain damage which is an utter crime for someone so young and full of energy with their whole life still ahead of them. It's even worse that I had saw her not a few hours before where she hugged me and wished me a happy birthday. :-(Since then, friends and family have been doing everything possible to raise money to get little Katey home and into proper medical treatment because if you didn't...

Do your thing

With a cold front approaching and strong winds whipping up from the East to the tune of about 18-20 knots, we once again joined our friends from Tortuga Divers on the East side of the island to get wet.A long walk off a short pier.......We headed South and took multiple attempts to find a mooring point that wasn't going to result in a drift dive for everyone which is just as well given that a few people looked quite green by the time we jumped in. Strong currents aside the first dive was relatively uneventful and not exactly teeming with marine life but then it was the third choice for a dive site and beggars cant be choosers.There were the odd...
