Cayman: 13/6 - 16/6

[Fastmarc]

Well, I finally got a chance to go over to Grand Cayman with some friends this past weekend. It was a wonderful trip, though I didn't get a chance to take as much photos as I wanted. Our hosts wanted to show us as much of the various dive sites as they could, so slowing down for me to compose and take pictures, was just not an option. I think if I had a real serious looking rig, I would have gotten more respect, but me with my little P&S... (yeh, yeh... just looking for an escuse to upgrade )
I definitely need to go back. Such nice dive sites. Ghost Mountain, Hepps, Sunset...
Anyway, here are a few that came out reasonably.

Great pics !!

Had a similar experience this weekend, being rushed over a few dive sites - sucks.

And who needs an excuse to upgrade !!!

Thanks Andy.

This subject had so much possibilities, but it was just too late in the day for me to get really creative with it where lighting was concerned.
Next time.

Like the angel

Looks like more great diving!

Next time, just stop and wait for him to realise that his guiding sucks

Nice shots, Marc. Did you stay at Sunset House?

Thanks Alcina, Larry, Ken.

Did you stay at Sunset House?

No. We were guests of the local BSAC club & all stayed with some of the members. We just did an afternoon dive there on the first day and chilled there afterwards.
It really is a nice dive. I was litterally confused for the first 10 mins of the dive. Couldn't decide which fish to take the first picture of... there were so many.
While I was taking the photos of the garden eel, my regular dive buddy (in Jamaica) said there was a huge mutton snapper nibbling on my fins and then my smb. Of course, he just had to have a dead camera.
Of course, my guide/buddy took me off on an excursion while everyone else stayed by the wreck. The videos of their interaction with the fish was amazing. I need to go back.

Nice photos.

The Mermaid at the Sunset Reef does have many photo possibilities

Here is one that i took last year when I was there

That's what I'm talking about.
A sunburst or divers in the background would really do it justice.

Here are a couple from Pallas Pinnacle.

Really wish I took some photos at Ghost Mountain. Such a beautiful site.
