Scuba-dooby doo!

I celebrated my 50th at 50 feet - underwater!
After taking lessons locally, I donned fins, mask and snorkel and explored the underwater beauty of the Cayman Islands. And my friend - who just turned 69 - joined me.
We enjoyed daily boat dives and shore dives, three night dives, explored reefs and walls, and saw a spectacular array of ocean life including octopi, eagle rays, moray eels, puffer fish, all kinds of exotic and brightly colored fish, and turtles.
The instructor who led the dive trip has taught beginners in their 50s, 60s, 70s - and even had a 95 year old beginner!
Swimming, snorkeling and diving are wonderful sports and not just for the younger set.
