On Saturday January 27, 2007; there was the annual art event hosted at the Governors House in Grand Cayman. I found this quite enjoyable but particularly enjoyed my free trip on the catboat which was organised by the local catboat club on the island.
I was advised that the reef started quite close to the beach which intrerested me. The following afternoon I went snorkelling off the beach and found that the reef did indeed begin a relatively short distance from the beach and I enjoyed the experience considerably. I snorkel using an air-vest so I feel quite safe when snorkelling away from the coast but not too far away.
One has to be aware that people use their boats (speedboats included) around that area so there are areas that snorkellers and swimmers can not go into, for safety reasons. Iether way, I found the spot where I came upon the reef to be far enough out for comfort - one has to be sensible afterall!
I still mean to get a water camera but am aware that it will take some time to get used to snorkel and carry a camera with a hand, leaving only one hand free to swim with. Nevertheless taking some pictures of my time snorkelling is something I intend to do soon, in relatively shallow conditions.
