Scuba diving is, for those of us who are keen divers, the ultimate escape from the environment you leave behind. You can escape and take yourself on an journey to see things which you otherwise never would. You enter a potentially environment in relative safety. You see marine life and artefacts which you would never really experience otherwise.
One of the best dives that I have done recently was off the shore of . Stingray City is the nickname of the dive site. I was taken there by Divers Down, who also offer a charter service for smaller groups or groups of up to 14 people. They also take you to much quieter sites, where you will not encounter so many cruise ship passenger divers causing mayhem.
The fish were amazing. If you plan to do any diving in Grand Cayman then Stingray city is a must. Just a ten minute boat trip across the delightful Grand Cayman Northsound, will take you to this world breath-taking dive site. In only 4 meters of clear warm blue water-protected by the barrier reef-you can come close to dozens of friendly Southern Stingrays. After the short boat ride out to Stingray City, the divemaster briefed us on how to swim with these gentle playful and cheeky stingrays.
They come really close up to you, and you must not be scared! They come and nibble lumps of food right out of your hand. Apparently this does not happen anywhere else on Earth as these creatures are normally timid and are not usually so gentle.
