Family (Cruise) Vacation: Day 4

Next port of call was George Town, Grand Caymen. My niece, Laverne and I all had the snuba excursion booked for mid-afternoon. Snuba lets you dive down a short distance (usually up to 25 feet) without dive tanks - there is an airhose attached from your regulator to the floating air tank at the surface. I was a little anxious about doing the snuba (getting air hoses tangled etc.), which probably explains why it took me a little bit longer to get adjusted to using the regulator for breathing (even though I have snorkeled quite a bit). However, once I got adjusted to breathing through a regulator and the pressure on the ears, it was by far one of the funnest excursions I have been on. My niece and I were attached to the same air tank and never got our air hoses tangled (whew!). The particular area that we were diving at was about 20 feet and had quite a (cool looking) fish as well as a shipwreck. After about an hour we had to surface and go back.
Needless to say, I'll will definitely be trying to get into a diving class as soon as I get back home.

As a nice take home souvenir, I received a lovely case of sunburn on my back and arms, which made my back look like a chicken.
My niece/roomate spent the remainder of the evening saying "Here, Chicky, Chicky" whenever I needed to have more aloe vera lotion put on.
