129. Reef Divers

Cobalt Coast Reef Fish

Me and Daniel went diving on the Cobalt Coast – the north shore where Reef Divers are. Reef Divers are awesome, Julia and Will and Oli are lovely. We both had all our gear, so we just paid ten dollars each for two tanks. The dive centre is immaculate, and the dive was amazing (although I used up all my air, sorry Daniel). I went to their dive centres on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, all are absolutely beautiful.

We were going to go again the next day, but the waves had picked up so instead we went to Lighthouse Point and Dive Tech. The building still has parts of the old lighthouse architecture – thick antique wooden doors and canons. It’s very pirate, I loved it. Even the onsite cafĂ© is vegetarian (except for the lionfish it serves).

The dive was incredible. My favorite dive so far. There’s a huge bronze statue ‘The Guardian of the Reef’, half Roman soldier, half seahorse. At about 80 feet we saw a massive turtle, the size of a VW. Also a huge moray eel, a huge grouper took us to a lion fish that was hiding under a rock, and I think was very disappointed we didn’t kill it, and another (regular size) turtle that swam right over my head.
