Our last day’s diving was the 24th March before the Shelter in Place came into force.

Imagine 3 months living on a Caribbean island 100m from the sea and not being able to set foot on the beach!

Two weeks ago the beaches opened for exercise and we were allowed to swim again. So for the last two weeks I have been getting a mile a day in, which has been nice.

Then last week the Government announced that as of Sunday 21st June diving could recommence!

So Jim, Cissy and I headed up to the East End and Ocean Frontiers for our first dive in three months. As you can imagine new Social Distancing precautions were in place on the boat but once in the water we were away.

Our first dive was Jack McKeeny’s a dive down through a twisting cave system in the reefs eventually emerging 101ft down the Cayman Wall. We were joined at points of our dive by two big Caribbean Reef Sharks.

The largest of whom was called Victoria. She was beautiful and completely unfazed by us.

Our second dive took in Snapper Hole and the Dragon’s Lair. We explored more caves and crevices patrolled by big silver Tarpon.

The icing on the cake for the dive was an encounter with a huge Goliath Grouper.

A great return to diving! Thanks Ocean Frontiers.
