A new year in Grand Cayman

Well there goes another new year!

January came and boy was it warm - averaging a little over 89F. Nice to relax and get a tan in January isn't it?

Decided to give diving a proper go in the new year after getting certified in early December last year.

I went on two 'shallow' dives, abuotr 50 feet in depth and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.

I don't presently have an underwater camera but I hope to get one in the near future as I would like to take pictures of what I see when snorkelling and diving whilst away from Ireland.

I went snorkelling on Saturday afternoon in Smiths Cove and, although the water was slightly rougher than anticipated, I still managed to see some very nice fish of varying colours and sizes during my time there. They all seemed to swim together and would swim away and then come back a few moments later. Quite a pleasant experience when all was said and done.

What else? Nothing much really, hoping to get away from it all (stress and that jazz) this coming weekend as we have a public holiday down here. I've probably left things a bit late but I'll see what I can do.

In the meantime,

Slan!
