Grand Cayman Underwater Photography
Our Grand Cayman Underwater Photography page is about underwater images and a minimum of words. This first picture is the anchor from a wreck, lying quietly on the ocean floor just off George Town. Like any human artifact on the seabed it looks forlorn, a reminder of how easily we are ruined by nature if we aren't careful enough or strong enough.
Around the reefs and in shallow water, the fish are beautifully colored and their twisting, darting shapes confuse the eye -- as they are presumably meant to do.Sergeant-Majors, like these, are probably the most common types.
In the deeper water, the fish are solid colors, silver for the most part, which gives them a more purposeful, less friendly, appearance. The bigger more obvious ones are also predators and that too gives them a mean look.
This stingray, lying on the bottom is a case in point. It may just be napping but probably not. Unlike the other rays, this one doesn't want to be hand-fed at Sandbar or
Stingray City.
It obviously prefers to catch and kill its meals the old-fashioned way.
