Cayman Islands - Snorkeling Near WreckageMany people like to snorkel, but some people enjoy searching for old ships at the bottom of the ocean. In the Cayman Islands, there are quite a few ships to find, but you have to be carefulSnorkeling is a cool activity because viewing fish underwater never gets boring; every time you dive, you see something new. Sometimes during your dive, you might see ship wreckage deep underwater, and you may think that it is somewhat interesting; this is why some people generally go snorkeling to find wreckage. Do not expect to find ships everywhere; it takes careful hunting. There are a few places worth checking out; however, you must follow a few rules to remain safe.Most people go snorkeling to find wreckage in shallow waters, which is fun; however, it is a bit risky. You should never get really close to a wreckage you know nothing about, because stray pieces could float up and injury you. Most snorkel guides will know a bit about the wrecks in the area, and they will tell you if it is safe to swim close or not. Although many tourists and local prefer snorkeling with a guide, quite a few people search for wreckage on their own, which is not a bad idea, because it is free. If you decide to explore the ocean without a guide, you should search for wreckage in a few areas; there are ships in Aruba, in Gramma, and in Cali. The Aruba, you will find an interesting tanker called the Antilla II, and it sits on the ocean floor. When you see it, you will notice that it has golden coral around it, and many fish swimming near it; you should defiantly bring a waterproof camera so you can take a picture. The tanker will remind you of the titanic, because it is huge, you can even touch the deck if you are brave enough. This is a safe tanker, and many people have seen it during sponsored tours. |

The wreck in Gramma is a bit more risky because some of the parts float up, and they could possibly hit you. This can happen due to the ocean currents, but do not worry, the parts are not sharp, but you should still watch out for them. If you had a back injury, you should not try to visit this wreckage. If some wreckage floats and hits your back, you will not be able to swim without experiencing pain on the trip back to shore. Cali has some wreckage located near the terminal docks; however, it is a 100-yard swim, which may be a problem for some people. An inflatable snorkel vest helps, in fact, you should defiantly wear one because you might get tired of swimming once you reach the wreckage, and if you do, you can just float. This particular wreckage is 20 feet below water, but it is broken up into many pieces. It is best to see this wreck on a sunny day; otherwise, you will not be able to see it clearly. Snorkeling in wreckage is a nice alternative to viewing fish; with a tour guide, it is quite educational, but some people prefer to snorkel and explore alone |
