I dove off of Nuweiba when it was still part of Israel. I always wanted to dive the Caymans, I heard it's incredible.

I'm off to Haifa in Israel next month, so I hope to get some diving in there too :))

I'm 71 now so my diving is pretty limited. I'll never forget my first time going from the pool to the water... it was off Portsmouth NH. I was out about 200 meters and I ran into about a 60 lb grouper... It scared the hell out of me (I was about 14) I never wanted to dive again!

It definitely more hairy for me now at 46 than it was at 21! Maybe at 50 I'll give it a rest :)

I broke my back about 35 years ago so I don't have the stamina I used to. I went lake diving here in Arkansas last summer and it damned near killed me! I'm afraid my diving days are over BUT if I got a chance to do the Caymans, I'd have to suck it up!

Fresh water diving scares me. I think I'll just stick to the seas!! ... bring on those Caymans ... one day!!
