Wall Diving Continued

I was trying to think of the best way to express the thrill of scuba diving. Think of it like being inside a gigantic salt water fish tank filled with beautiful fish -- only instead of seeing one or two beautiful brightly colored fish -- imagine seeing a school of hundreds of them. Instead of seeing this thru the glass, imagine swimming with the school of fish or having the fish swim up to look you right in the eye. It's good stuff.

There is an added thrill to diving on walls in Cayman. It's like rock climbing without the work! Instead of struggling to conquer barren cliffs, you can glide effortlessly along breathtaking walls. And, unlike more terrestrial topography, undersea mountain exploration is not limited in terms of the variety of colors and flora and fauna that you see. In Cayman, mountain exploration happens in technicolor as you swim through canyons and lush shallow reefs filled with thousands of different specimens of aquatic life. Note, there is also no risk of avalanche but you do need to watch out for stingrays! Here is a good site for more information:
