The day started with a huge rainstorm, and everyone woke up to the sound of thunder. After an early morning downpour Team 1 prepared their dive gear for an 8am boat dive while Team 2 continued to enjoy the calm after the storm. While Team 1 were gone Team 2 learnt about identifying the many species of fish in the Caribbean, before going on a second beach clean to clear another beautiful strip of coast and to collect materials for our raft race. As soon as everyone had wiped off the sweat from the roasting Cayman sun they were eager to return to the cooling water for a fish ID session on the reef infront of the CCMI Building.
As Team 2 were sighing with relief, Team 1 were taking the leap of faith off the dive boat. What awaited them was a plummet into the deep abyss of Coconut walk. As they descended into the blue they were immediately greeted by a sting ray and a barracuda before setting off to explore the various types of coral in the reef. An example of this is the extremely endangered Pillar Coral of which only three females are left in the whole of Little Cayman.
At 12pm everyone had returned from their adventures with many a story to share over lunch. When the teams had caught up with each other the Teams switched activities with one another so they could all share the same experiences. This included Team 2 seeing a Trumpet Fish, Queen Triggerfish and a couple of Barracuda; and Team 1 heading outinto the sweltering afternoon sun.
Once all the Teams had returned everyone gathered for supper to discuss the day and relax from the sun. As the day drew to close everyone had run out of energy, everyone decided to enjoy a fun game night set up by the staff. After Monopoly was finished off everyone was struggling to keep their eyes open and headed off to bed excited for the next day of adventures.
