Friday - May 18

For our last dive we were moored at a shallow site near the harbor named Devil's Grotto. It was actually quite a bit of fun, we saw lots of juvenile fish tucked into little nooks and crannies. Randy had fun trying out his new macro lens which was great for detailed closeups.

  • Christmas Tree Worm
  • Anenome
  • Nudibranch

We called that our last dive and started to rinse off the dive gear. Then we spent a bit of time editing Rick's HD movie in the lounge. Afterwards we hung out with our friends and chit-chatted about the week.

At 5pm there was a cocktail party on the top deck where we all enjoyed some tasty treats. Matt and Denny got their Nitrox certifications and Denny got his Advanced Open Water Certification. Then we walked a couple of blocks to a nice restaurant for dinner. One of the topics at dinner was where the group would go for our next dive trip. Fiji next spring came up more than once...  

Epilogue

We're really getting spoiled by these Aggressor dive boats. The crew was fantastic, the food was delicious and we had great  accommodations and facilities on board. The diving was stunning, especially Little Cayman. Some of the best diving we've done in the Caribbean (or anywhere else). Many thanks to the crew and our fellow divers for making it such a special week!
