Evening rolls in. |
We had clouds at sunset each day, still a nice image though!! |
To the bar!!! A few frozen Margaritas should help with the night dive!! |
I got some gear to strap on!! |
This is why they call it Sunset House (probably better minus the clouds) |
A drink after the night dive as well!! |
Rock hard men with their fruity drinks!! |
One of a few lobsters we saw. This may be during a night dive. |
Honeycomb cowfish - Cayman seems to have quite a few, we saw 1 to 2 per dive. |
Great swim throughs and tunnels. |
Another Honeycomb cowfish. A rather large one. |
A nassau grouper, not a huge one but always with an intimidating look. |
Parrotfish - don't know what variety off hand, might be a stoplight parrotfish |
Can you spot the octopus? Taken during a night dive. |
Little Shrimp friend. |
Not a good night dive until you find at least one crab |
Pretty blue surgeon fish. |
Baracuda-looking for a tasty diver |
Another Lobster - not very well hidden. |

Last day, sun is out, let's go check out 7 mile beach!! |
Our 1st glimps of 7 mile beach!! This is my heaven!!! |
7 mile beach had some sun on our last day (perfect since we could no longer dive) |
Paradise slightly ruined by the image of a huge cruise ship down the beach. |
If god invented anything better he kept it for himself!! |
Another quick dip! |
One last time, nothing like crystal clear 85 degree water to make everything alright |
Isn't that a pretty sight!! Grab some lunch at a beach side bar and we're off |
Ofcourse its gorgeous out when we have to leave. Miss the bar by the water! |
Off to the airport!! |
