Jul 11, 2006 3:23 PM Something different..... Staff | Dive Master Surface Conditions: 4ft waves, surge Visibility: 70 - 120+fft Temperature: 84° This week Bluewater Divers and SeaLevel Dive arrived on Little Cayman with it seems 2 things in mind - doing a night dive and diving the Captain Keith Tibbetts Russian Frigate on Cayman Brac.
Due to Cayman Islands law we can only allow a maximum of 20 people on each boat and with this in mind, two full boats were sent out on each trip this week. Lying between 45ft and 100ft, the Captain Keith Tibbetts is suitable for any diver from novice to the more advance. In 1996 it was sunk specifically for scuba divers, and our guests have certainly been making the most of it. At around 43ft long, it makes an easy wreck dive, with hardly any current and visibility between 70 and 120ft. Penetrating the vessel is possible for the more adventurous diver. As for the night dive tonight, with two boats going out, guests have a choice of dive sites - another wreck (the Soto Trader) or the wall itself..... whichever site they dive, we can guarantee one to remember. CommentsCategory: General | Posted By: Dive Master The group from SeaLevel diving made it home to the Chicago area safely still with smiles on their faces and stories to tell of their incredible week at Little Cayman Beach Resort. Diving with Reef Divers last week was a trip none of us will soon forget. Ten of us arrived on the island as virtual strangers and through the week became great diving friends. The facilities and staff of the Beach Rersort and Reef Divers helped make this possible. Diving on both wrecks (Soto Trader ~night dive, and the Russian Frigate) were among the highlights of the week. Conditions and and weather were perfect all week. Our group consisted of non-divers (who became certified during the week) to PADI instructors and levels between. No matter the level, we were all able to dive together and truly enjoy the natural beauty of the reef. We are all planning to meet next week at a local pub and share our photos and see the awesome DVD that Reef Divers filmed of our trip ("Bottoms Up"). Cheers and Safe Travel/Diving ! :) |
