On my day off I went for a two-tank boat dive with Tortuga
Divers. Tortuga have their center at Morritt’s Resort, on the east end of Grand
Cayman, a beautiful forty-minute drive from George Town. James had very kindly
invited me.
Thanks Nigel and Sarah and all Red Sail crew for an amazing
day
Our first dive was to High Rock, on the south coast.
Spectacular. Then we dove Big House, which was incredible. Swimming through
tunnels in the coral, like secret passageways. Unfortunately my camera broke
down; it was the most colorful dive yet – lots of blue and purple sponges, some
huge lobsters.
Nigel spotted and speared two lionfish, and not long after an
8ft nurse shark came to check it out. My calf was bleeding (looks like ink at
60 feet) from scraping some coral. One of the other divers was also cut. The
shark was swimming amongst us until one diver tried to touch its tail; it swam
off and the diver got told off. A few minutes later it came back, and a bigger
reef shark also appeared.
