 Lion Fish - you used to have to go to the Great Barrier Reef to see Lion Fish but some escaped from an aquarium during a Hurricane in Florida and now they have become the scourge of the Caribbean. |

Sunk at Grand Cayman Island
December, 2010
For many years Grand Cayman lacked a credible "shipwreck" so the dive shops
purchased a U.S. Navy Ship and sunk it offshore in 100 feet of water.
Rob was one of the first to dive the new site.

The Oro Verde
March 8, 2011
Meaning "yellow gold" a drug smuggling ship
was captured off the coast of Cayman many
years ago and turned into a diving location
but the salt water and the hurricanes took
their toll and it has disinterrgrated and
lost its allure as a dive site.
 Ore Verde is in only 50 feet of water. Not a good dive location, it gets beat up by rolling seas in hurricane season. |

 "Down in the ocean Down about 50 feet I think I'm in Heaven It couldn't be this neat." |

 First rule of scuba diving: Never go into a hole if you can't see out the other end." |
 Follow the leader and don't stir up the sand. |

 Stand back, I think she's going to be struck by lightening |
