    https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/data/oceans/coris/library/NOAA/CRCP/project/535/ESTUARINE-COASTAL-AND-SHELF-SCIENCE-2012-van-Hooidonk.pdf Good explanation for the Caribbean corals. Most of the brains look good now that the water is cool

    Grand Cayman coral - white like snow

    Depends on the coral species and the type of clades that sisters with the coral. Some corals can survive months bleached. The bleach tolerant species are well documented. Branching corals are the most fragile. 2019 was a massive bleach in Cayman and most of the coral survived...

    Grand Cayman coral - white like snow

    Water around Brac cooling and colors coming back to corals. Some of the brains have totally bounced back. 85degrees. Lettuce coral no go. White as snow. Apparently it is considered a “weed” coral and not an essential reef builder. But I think it is beautiful. Hope it comes back.

    Dive boat accident involving Dive tech and Cathy Church boat

    Why is she still allowed to operate a commercial boat is the big question for me . A danger to anyone in the water when someone this incompetent is driving or not driving the boat. Keep her off the water for god sake..

    WPB or Jupiter

    I usually make it back to the boat type of diver. Water conditions don’t bother me. I have been to the northwest, Maui and the outer reefs of the keys in heavy wind. Just want a boat that gets me to and from the dive. It doesn’t have to be a social dive, I’m usually focusing on the...

    i wanted to know if anyone has a suggestion for a trip to Jupiter in earlyMay or late April to Jupiter area. Is it a good time to go and what type of fish/sharks, if any, will be around? Also what dive op do you recommend? I plan on a Thursday, Friday, Saturday. My last two attempts...

    Little Cayman or Cayman Brac

    Hands down Brac is the best. Little Cayman has too many divers, not as many sharks and I think the the South Wall is the best. Go to Pillars of Hercules, Rock Monster or any of the East end sites. Diving as it once was.. epic. April is a beautiful time to go. Little Cayman is...

    WARNING: Jolly Dive boat captain by name of Paul sexually harassed me

    I have followed the Nasser case and now the R Kelly case. Predators are opportunistic and well versed at weaseling out of suspicion. They are cons. It took years and 100’s of victims before authorities started to take the accusations seriously. I can see the same problem with this...

    13 year old diver dies - Oahu, Hawaii

    Conditions can change during a dive. Maybe it was an just accident and not negligence. Unless you physically hold someone, which a 13 year old boy would hate, you can lose tract pretty quick when visibility and current hit. Sad for the family.

    Diving/weather conditions on Cayman Brac in November?

    November is my favorite dive month. Water warm, cooler temperatures top side. Plenty of calm days . I did get caught off guard last November. We started a dive in dead calm and the swells came in. Lol, I missed the entrance to Silvia’s and hit the rocks. Had about 20 sea urchin...

    Tooth squeeze with implants

    Should have no affect on clearing sinus. The zygomatic implants are simply an implant angled into the zygomatic process for immediate stabilization. The surgical guide designed from the CT scan assures placement into bone and not into a sinus. I would allow 6 -8 weeks before diving. No...

    Italian woman dead on Mozambique reef

    2 days, with a day of 12 foot waves, could easily separate diver from equipment. She may have inflated BC and was at the surface where all the wave action was.. sad

    Tooth squeeze with implants

    If your implants are fully integrated and the bone has completely healed, no problem. Typically the maxillary(upper)takes 4-6 months and longer to fully integrate. Diving pressures and the affects on a healing implant have not been studied(unless I’ve missed it). As with any other bone in...

    Cayman Went - the Movie About Cayman Brac

    Here is the picture. Green turtle.. they have 2 plates between eyes. Hawksbill has 4. Young green and hawksbill look the same. Only place to really see Greens on Brac is the East end grass flats or around the dock area South west end. I have seen one at Sylvia’s, but the dive operators...
