Just Daryl and I on these 2 dives, the girls stayed home (Virginia was done, and Jill hurt her leg). Cathy Church, a famous island photographer, owner of an underwater photo school, and member of the "Women's Diving Hall of Fame", was on our boat with us. She seemed like a nice lady, with a huge camera rig, and she went on a long rant about how the reefs are doomed, etc. Amusing and educational. Underwater she tried to help Daryl get a good photo of a Cayman Drum fish (cool little triangular looking fish with neat fins, but she only succeeded in adjusting his camera out-of-focus. Kind of funny. This was a great location for a dive, probably 2nd best after Heather's Hallway. A pinnacle on the edge of the wall that you could swim around, and then along the wall. Neat swim-throughs and then the amazing wall. We saw a small turtle on the surface from the boat at the end of the dive - this was the first turtle I saw on the trip, though other diver's saw some. Matt, our night dive tour guide, was on the boat as a passenger with his quite hot girlfriend. He was looking for Lionfish to spear and then sell to restaurants. He said he mostly sells to Tukka, and he caught 8+ fish, so we went to Tukka for a great dinner Friday night and had Lionfish Ceviche which was quite tasty. Daryl and I did learn to not descend until the dive guide starts descending because there were a few issues on the surface, and we burned through 500 lbs. of air at 60 feet waiting for Tilly to come down.
