Underwater Photography At Its Best!

Colourful Marine Life
When it comes to underwater photography, colour is the spice that makes the pictures exciting. Since the sea is a monochromatic blue, it takes a splash of brilliant colour to make the photos come alive.

The reefs and walls of the Cayman Islands offer some of the greatest collections of colourful marine life to be found anywhere in Caribbean waters. Huge Elephant Ear Sponges are a warm, delicious orange. Blood Red Sponges are found growing along Grand Cayman's North Wall. These are punctuated by lighter hues of Strawberry Sponges. Lavender Vase Sponges off Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are common. There you will also find brilliant canary Yellow Tube Sponges as well. Add to this collection Red Rope Sponges, Black Coral Trees and an infinite number of colourful reef creatures. The Cayman Islands are the undersea version of Picasso's palette.
