Diver's Notes

(Jill: 43) - Crusher's Wall. First dive of our Grand Cayman trip! Fairly windy and rough on the surface. Crusher's Wall is named after a very large turtle that used to live there, but has since passed away. They are trying to eradicate invasive Lion Fish, so a couple people have spears to kill them with. Divers can kill them at will. Water is very warm. I wasn't completely comfortable on the first dive and then lost Jill and the dive group briefly at a swim through. The coral is very beautiful, and there are giant fan corals, and a lot of very long coral. Not as many fish as Hawaii, but some fairly sizable fish. The dive master saw a shark, but I missed it. Overall, was a good dive as first dives go. My comparison to Maui is that there is more coral here, but more fish in Maui.

Dive notes: Snorkel was annoying me so I put it in my pocket. Maybe leave it home. Weight was good. I was warm in my wetsuit. I could consider buying a dive shirt, but not sure I'll get use out of it.
