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.

Boarding pass in hand.... not sure if she wants to smile for the camera! |

Lovely Hawksbill Turtle waved us good bye at the end of the tour |
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 <*))))><
