My past dives and snorkells

Well, it's been a bit of a while since my last blog so I thought I should try and update this site.

I have thoroughly enjoyed snorkelling off Grand Cayman and I have to say that buying my inflatible air vest has proved very worthwile indeed for it has given me the opportunity to swim about half a mile from the beach to see the coral reef 'fingers' with ease and safety.

I think my favourite snorkel spots in and around George Town are Smiths Cove, Public Beach and the Cemetary Beach spots although I do intend to try some other spots outside of the George Town area.

I have taken some nice pictures with my underwater camera although they are of varying quality and most of them are forgettable. I have, however, taken some nice pictures of my time snorkelling and diving and a bonus has been that one of my dive buddies took a couple of pictures of me whilst diving.

I have been diving (about once a month or so) since the new year and I have been posting my experiences onto the PADI site although I have encountered some technical difficulties in getting the site to save same.

I have recently bought a good pair of fins that can be used for both diving and snorkelling and I have to say that swimming to a particular snorkel spot is greatly helped by 'cycling' through the water. I have now eliminated the muscle cramp on the base of my feet when swimming back to the beach by using the fins - highly recommended.
