Took a quick trip in the fall of 2001 down to Grand Cayman.
US Airways was having a special on their awards tickets to the Caribbean.
Free tickets are always a good reason to travel.

I ended up in the Cayman Islands during Pirate Week. BONUS! There were lots of festival events including fireworks, street carnival and parade. People everywhere were dressed as pirates.

Even the crews on many of the dive operations were dressed as pirates. This is Morgan. She is the best captain and divemaster at Treasure Island Divers.

Some of the divers on our dive boat boarded a dive boat from another operation and fought the captain to steel their pirate flag. (Part of the Pirate Week activities)

This is Brett Mistak. He is the best divemaster at Don Foster's Dive Resort or on the island. We had a great time diving.

The turtles in the Caymans were not afraid of divers. If you approach them slowly and show them your side you can swim along beside them.

Came across these two schoolmasters in shouting match. They are having a standoff with open mouths.

A squirrel fish swims near some colorful coral.

This blue tang poses for me.

There were several French Angel Fish on most dives.

This rock beauty stays close to the coral where it can hide if I get any closer.

This fellow keeps an eye on me as he swims between me and another diver in the distance.
