The Gang
This group hails mostly from our Antelope Valley. Our local area divers often
get together on these trips. |
|
|
|
D & Pat
Pat & Paul, our friends & neighbors, owned a dive shop and still act as
"travel agents" on a lot of our SCUBA trips. |
|

|
Aw, Ain't That Romantic
Well, the islands are romantic, and we try to make the most of it. |
|
|
|
Sunset, Cayman Brac
We bring back a lot of sunset pictures, but it never wears thin. |
|
|
|
J Inspects Sponge
They get pretty big. Never found any gold down there, however. |
|
|
|
|
|
Underwater Flowers
The soft coral always is worth a picture. |
|
|
|
Divers Down
Paul, the other half of Pat & Paul, is at right. You can spot him by the
white hair. Wait...we all have white hair. |
|
|
|
Spotted Ray
Sight of a ray always is a high point. Their grace underwater is visual
poetry. |
|
|
|
More Spotted Ray
Approached slowly, sometimes you can touch. The white underside is like
velvet. |
|
|
|
Dinner?
Not in most of the dive locations. The islands have learned that turning
their local reefs into nature preserves is the way to go. |
|
|

|
Ray, Again
Southern Stingrays are often found feeding along flat sand bottoms. |
|
|
|
Around the Island
The slow pace of many islands makes them great places to rent scooters or
motorbikes for sightseeing. |
|

|
D and Friend
D can always be depended on to locate a critter or two to commune with. This
one got a little too at home for my taste. |
|
|
|
Tres Amigos plus one
SCUBA is nice because you don't have to be a young jock to dive and enjoy. |
|
|
|
Cayman Brac
More laid back and not as upscale as Grand Cayman, "The Brac" attracts mostly
SCUBA divers and people who want a quiet stay. |
|

|
Beach, Brac Reef Resort
Sun & relaxing |
|
|
|
Brac Reef Resort
This overwater gazebo was "the place" for sunset lounging. At night, tarpon
cruised the water under the dock's floodlights. |
|
|
|
Our Little Boat
Well, not really. This is the yacht Meduse, property of Paul Allen of
Microsoft fame. The helicopter is a nice touch, right? |
|
|
|
Bike Tourists
J and D hit the trail on a couple of the Brac Reef's free cruser bikes. |
