Diving in Cayman With a playful Shark

 
We kick off shark week with this awesome and playful nurse shark on north wall yesterday!
 The last few weeks have produced many sharks in the waters around cayman due to the warmer water. This 7 ft nurse shark was different then any other nurse I have ever come in contact with.
 I have seen my share of sharks while diving but this was a one of a kind experience. Sharks here in cayman are known to bolt and swim away from divers almost immediately and never really interact with us. This 7 footer not only didn't bolt, she hung out with us for 15 mins making figure 8's and coming so close we could have reached out and pet her. It was truly a great day to dive grand cayman !!  
 
To give you all some history of nurse sharks. They live in very warm water, and are what is called a shallow shark. They generally don’t go deeper than about 200 feet.
The nurse shark will reproduce by letting her eggs develop inside her body after being fertilized and hatch inside her.
Her litter has about 20 or 30 young sharks, called pups that are mirror images of the adult nurse shark in every way.
They are not mature enough to mate until about 15 or 16 years old.
Nurse sharks do not migrate as many others do. When the weather grows cooler they decrease their activity, but stay in the cooler waters.

A Truly “Personalized Experience!”

Jacob and his wife, Jacqueline, are awesome and worked with me in advance to arrange for a great day while in port from a cruise ship. I would highly recommend JJ Divers over any other excursion that you could plan through a cruise ship. I had a dive with Jacob and one other couple and then even had one dive with Jacob alone. I didn't expect a private tour, but you sure can't beat that over a group excursion with many, many people diving all at once! He was very friendly, told me about the island, stopped in "hell" (since I hope to not ever see the real one) and as a very new diver just recently certified, helped me re-acclimate to the open water and get comfortable diving. He made it very easy. Jacqueline also was so responsive as plans were made in advance of arriving on Grand Cayman. What a great couple they are and are living out their dream together on a beautiful island. Very reasonable rates and very accommodating. Definitely check them out when you visit Grand Cayman!

Really Great Experience

I came to grand cayman for a family vacation, me and my sisters really wanted to scubadive so my dad set up a private lesson and dive with JJ Divers. It was so much fun, we actually ended up getting certified. The dives were amazing, and Jacob is a really really great instructor. He taught us everything we needed to know, i felt completely comfortable and safe the entire time. Me and my sisters absolutely loved it. Would recommend to anybody!
