Little Cayman Day 5 - Night Life

I love to party! The girls, the dancing, the drinking, the smoking (did you know that the Caymans have Cuban Cigars) did I already mention the girls? Granted anybody reading this blog probably already knows me, but in case you don't, I'm going to let you in on a small secret, if I ever mention dancing in a positive way....it's a sure bet that I'm using sarcasm and watch out the BS is going to be getting deep.

Little Cayman is not Cancun, no spring breakers here. It's not Vegas, it definitely sleeps, usually by 8pm most nights. It does do it's impression of American (Idol) Karaoke on Friday night, which almost had me swimming to Cuba. The real night life, in my opinion, happens on Tuesday and Thursday the night dives. In our case, Thursday. As luck would have it, a buoy needed for navigation was missing on Tuesday, so we only got one night dive this trip.

Diving three times a day is tiring by itself. Today we did four, well most of us. Wait, make that only Becca and I. We were the only ones of our group to sign up to do the night dive, guess we know who the true divers were. It was an extra $60, which I thought a little pricey, but thinking back to our Cozumel trip, the night dives were my favorite. Just like our trip, the night dive started out slow. The first fifteen minutes of the dive, nothing. I did come face to face with a large barracuda, then a good sized lobster and then a lemon ray, but hardly something to make a cool dive. The whole time the little voice in my head, "I spent extra money on this?". A good sized crab eating, then small spotted lobster, a puffer and a turtle, better probably worth $30 at this point. Finally, an octopus and not just a brief glimpse, but a solid five minutes! Worth it! Then a bonus, a school of squid that looked like a formation of UFO's, now this is some night life!

The evening ended with a boat ride in what I can only describe as a planetarium. The number of stars visible from the resort far out numbered a typical sky back home, but on the boat away from the lights of shore, amazing! Yup, sign me up for the night life!
