Day Six - Cayman Aggressor

The last dive day of the trip is always the hardest.   But, we ended it with two great sites.  First, we went to Big Tunnels in Grand Cayman.  There were many swim throughs and big tunnels (if you can imagine) and great sea life.  We didn't capture a lot on film on this dive, but we did see a large lobster handing out on the wall.

Next we went to Devil's Grotto, just off the shore (we could actually see the Sunset House, where we stayed when we first arrived in Grand Cayman, from the boat).  We went into the diving thinking it was going to kind of be a throw-away dive...it was relatively shallow (the deepest we got was 45 feet) and it was really just a reef.  We couldn't have been happier with it.  We started off seeing three turtles in the same spot.  We played with them for a while them moved on to explore a little more.  Shortly thereafter we found some amazing caverns connected by alleys of coral.  On the way out of the last one, we saw two large tarpon.  After about 60 minutes, we contemplated ascending (reluctantly, as you will see in the pictures) until we saw a spotted eel swimming openly through the reef.  It was a great way to end the dive.  We surfaced and began to clean our gear.

Later that evening, the crew hosted a cocktail party for us on the sun deck so we could say our goodbyes.  The next morning, we headed for the airport with Dick and Lea, two divers from Orlando who happened to be on our flight. 

It truly was an amazing trip.  We are now trying to figure out where we will go next!
