Sharks, Rays, Diving, and Rolex

Hey guys, Diving in Grand Cayman this week. I took a few pics this morning that I thought you would enjoy. Unfortunately, this is my first time in the water in a while, so my picture taking skills have gotten a bit rusty.......so this is the best I got from this morning. I hope you enjoy them anyways.



Queen Conch


Spiny Lobster


Lemon Stingray


4ft Nurse Shark


Tough to see, but there is a little nurse shark ~1ft long behind my watch in this one


Flaming Tongues on a Seafan


Doin' its job


White Spotted Filefish


2.5ft Porcupine Puffer


My wife (below) wearing her 14060M, and my friend Ty above


Staghorn Coral with assorted Juvenile reef fish


I hope you enjoyed, and stay tuned...........

Honestly, I really need to upgrade. I've been using this rig for years......Canon G10 with an Ikelite housing.

I never have been to Little Cayman because I have a guys trip that we do every year to GC. We have toyed with the idea of going to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac, but we enjoy the dive operator that we have used for so long that we have a difficult time wanting to change........

Believe it or not, this is a dive trip with a bunch of watch guys that originated from the watch forums. I did not know ANYONE the first time I went. This is our NINTH year
