Cayman Time With Friends!

We flew to Grand Cayman to join Dennis, Tamara, Meg, Kevin, Mike and Leslie for a week of  diving at Ocean Frontiers.  Landing, we picked up our car, before heading to the grocery, and driving out to the East End.  Dinner that night was at Eagle Ray's.  Up early the next morning to calm seas, no wind, and a beautiful day we boarded Ocean Hawk for a week of diving.  It was good to see all the staff and get the first two dives out of the way.

Later in the week the weather turned rainy, the wind blew a couple of days and it was rough, but the diving went on!  We saw turtles, sharks, lots of lobster, crabs, a couple of eels, and lots of lettuce leaf slugs.  The dive masters worked hard to dive some of the sites I needed for my Green Shorts Challenge.  By the end of the week I had added 12 dives in my logbook!

On one wall dive Mike had a up close and personal experience with three sharks at about 100 feet as we all watched....it was awesome!  I think they might have been looking for a lion fish hand-out!
Of course Chef Dennis had us over two nights for dinner, and as usual his food was wonderful.  Dennis and Tamara are the ultimate host!! We also enjoyed meeting Tamara's friend, Nancy.  We spent our afternoons hanging around the pool and hot tub together.
Dale, Tamara, Nancy, and I booked a snorkel trip and had a great afternoon with three snorkel stops.  We saw a wrecked sailboat, a big Eagle Ray, and lots of fish. On Friday we went to Starfish Beach to check out all the starfish and then to Rum Point for a swim and relaxation.
Leslie and Mike and Meg and Kevin joined us at Kurt's Corner for dinner one night and the food was very good.  I had a very spicy bite of Key Lime Pie......which proved to be very funny!  On our last night we ate together at Eagle Ray's and watched the videos the guys had taken....especially the shark video!

It was so good to share a week of diving with our friends and hope to dive with them again in the future.
