Grand Cayman and Cozumel

So this weekend I leave on a 5 day cruise going to Grand Cayman and Cozumel I will be bringing my underwater camera so I will try and snap some pictures of any of the reefs I end up visiting. Has anyone that has been to either location recommend any spots?

Re: Grand Cayman and Cozumel

Enjoy the trip. I was in Cozumel before the hurricane and in Little Cayman before their hurricane. I guess I should stop visiting places...

Stop in and visit the camera shop in Cozumel for some great tips for shooting with your underwater camera (or if you take your new camera and trash the probe on it on the first underwater adventure you can rent one there - hehe, that would be me). They are right next to one of the hotels where the cruise ships dock, at the south(?) end of town. I wish I was home so I could get you the name.

Re: Grand Cayman and Cozumel

I've not done any significant diving there YET but I'll be there for New Years 2010 so take NOTES!

Cozumel is a GREAT place *Been there 7 times over the last few years*.

Mention my name at Snoir Frogs and get a better seat at the bar ROFL!!

Keep us posted and Safe Travels.

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
