It was fun to listen to the dive briefings and hear the stories of how each site was named. Our grandson particularly enjoyed the site called the Fish Tank and repeated the story verbatim to his mother later. The story goes that NASA and the National Geographic Society got together to try to preserve a part of the Cayman reef by enclosing it in a large Plexiglas aquarium structure. Since it was hard to see the glass underwater it was suggested that you swim with one arm extended so you didn't run into it with your head. He didn't buy into it but we had fun with it.

Cayman is one of the most beautiful areas to go diving and that coupled with the excellent dive operation we always book with, Ocean Frontiers, is why we keep coming back. We hope to earn our Green Shorts soon by having dived all 55 of the dive sites on the east end of the island. And now that our grandson has had a good taste of diving there as well, he is nine dives closer to earning his Green Shorts and a piece of congratulatory cake!
