One of everyone’s favorite shore dive sites on Grand Cayman is Macabuca. \u00a0When I say shore dive, it means where you can simply jump in the water and start diving – no boat required. \u00a0Macabuca is a dive operation and restaurant in West Bay, close to the Turtle Farm.<\/p>\n

Not long after getting into the water and once we were 60-70ft down, I was able to get this cool shot of a boat overhead. \u00a0It always amazes me how sound travels in water – it is loud and clear. \u00a0But its also very difficult, compared to outside of water, to locate where the sound comes from.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the dive was no doubt the friendly turtle we encountered. \u00a0The lovely turtle swam slowly and gracefully with us for a few minutes. \u00a0Was not afraid of us at all.<\/p>\n

Here you can see how close to us it was – great\u00a0experience. \u00a0Such a lovely animal.<\/p>\n

Some nice looking coral and formations. \u00a0The pictures do not do justice – they are much more colorful, less “green” than they look here.<\/p>\n

Of course – a diving selfie is required! \u00a0This picture attests to the clarity of the water. I am +-70ft down here and you can see the surface, the sun, etc. \u00a0Of course this being Cayman, it was nice and sunny out.<\/p>\n

So there you have it – great diving as usual in Grand Cayman. \u00a0There were lots of people out diving yesterday and lots of tourists and locals alike having lunch\/drinks at the outdoor restaurant. \u00a0A great place for sure. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
