About 3 weeks ago I mentioned that I was taking Yanique to the Atlantis Submarine tour but things didn't work out. The following 2 weekends after that I didn't get to see her, one she was spending time with her Dad and after that, it was Easter.
Finally we got to go last Saturday, we had a fabulous time and I was quite pleased with the whole experience.
This was not my first time on a Submarine, but my first on the one here in Grand Cayman.
About 15 years ago in Eilat, Israel while on vacation with my parents, we took a Submarine tour of the Red Sea, I don't remember much about that trip but I do remember having a great time because I wasn't a diver back then.
Now, after more than 10 years of being a diver, I wasn't quite sure what to expect of this tour and now I can say with confidence that perhaps it's next best thing [to see the reef] after scuba diving.
Here are some photos of that day.

As you can see from some of the pictures, we saw lots of different species and although it was hard taking pictures over 2 layers of plexi glass, I think those came out alright!
It's a tour I would definitely take again and I in fact I'm already thinking about taking my Mom and my Aunt when they come visit this year.
Hope everybody had a great weekend and that this coming week is even better one!
Happy Monday <*))))><

That looks like a ton of fun!! How neat!! You two just go and do all kinds of nifty things!! ...debbie
the photos are amazing and that looks like it was so much fun!
Wanted you to know I mailed your prizes today! I have no idea how long it is going to take to get to you but I mailed them off today!
It looks fabulous - and yet I can feel the nerves in the stomack as I look at the pictures of Yanique going down the stairs... Come to think of the Beatles song "We all live in a yellow submarine" ;-) Have a happy week!
I went on this sub once! I loved it!
