Scuba diving is, for those who take part on a regular basis, the ultimate escape from the world you leave behind. You can escape and take yourself on an adventure to see things which you otherwise never would experience. You enter an hostile environment in relative safety. You see marine creatures and artefacts which you would never really discover otherwise.
One of the best dives that I have done recently was off the shore of Grand Cayman. Stingray City is the nickname of the site. I was taken there by Divers Down, who also offer a charter service for smaller groups or groups of up to 16 people. They also take you to much more quiet sites, where you will not encounter so many cruise ship passenger divers causing mayhem.
The fish were amazing. If you plan to do any Scuba diving in Grand Cayman then Stingray city is a must. Just a ten minute boat ride across the beautiful Grand Cayman Northsound, will take you to this world famous dive site. In only 12 feet of clear warm blue water-protected by the barrier reef-you can interact with scoresloads of friendly Southern Stingrays. After the short boat ride out to Stingray City, the staff briefed us on how to swim with these delightful playful and cheeky stingrays.
They come really close up to you, and you must be brave! They come and bite food pieces right out of your hand. Apparently this happens nowhere else in the World as these fish are normally shy and are not normally so gentle.
My other favourite dive location is Cayman Brac
