Cayman Islands Twilight Zone 2007: Extreme SCUBA Diving

Update: 2007-05-31

Description

Experience what it is like to be a Twilight Zone technical diver studying the biodiversity of creatures living in the Caribbean Sea between Cuba and Jamaica. Little Cayman has some of the steepest drop-offs in the Caribbean because it is perched on the edge of the abyss of the Cayman Trench 7500 meters below the crystal-clear surface waters.
