But they seemed to have a good time! They all had plenty of turns in the "fighting chair".
And came back with enough tuna for more than two meals!
Check out the videos - the men also pulled in some barracuda, but they are not recommended by the locals for eating.

For the Fiance, this was his first time diving after he achieved his certification - a special moment! Man with Go Pro did not take any photos the first dive - the emphasis was on making sure the "kids" had a good experience - even for our children, it had been five years since they had been diving! (Spousal Unit and I, having arrived a couple of days ahead, already had two dives under our "weight" belts!) So, the photos I share below were taken over two days and several dives. Enjoy!

I am obsessed with Porcupinefish. Maybe you can see why in this video.
All this hard work (!) diving makes everyone hungry.

ReplyDeleteMade me think of flying to the Bahamas many years ago. We acted on the phrase, "your gonna need a bigger boat," but we actually didn't. We sold the 30' twin motor Baylines for a 24 footer. It's easier to handle and enough room for our small trips out on the nearby ocean. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole world under the waves.
ReplyDeleteHi Angie...I hope you are doing well. I would get sea sick out on the water, but I so enjoy good fresh fish. Those tacos that you all had looked delicious. My oldest daughter has been to the Grand Caymans and loved it. It seems that we shall never be able to travel again, but not letting go of the dream. Take care and stay safe~
ReplyDeleteLove Grand Cayman and love deep sea fishing. I used to take folks out deep sea fishing years ago on our 60ft fishing yacht, we'd go 90 miles out. I do miss the sea adventures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful vacation! My husband has done deep sea fishing in Key West and he caught a giant "wahoo" fish that fed the many people in his group that evening. He brought it to a restaurant that prepared it two ways. I toured Hemingway's house while he was fishing. I loved the scuba diving videos too!
ReplyDeleteHe who fishes in boat for 8 hours catches fish. =) I always think the world below the sea is beautiful. Lovely family photo, Angie.
ReplyDeleteThis is the next try to send a comment.
ReplyDeleteYes, I loved to be on a boat. We made holidays on the River Shannon. And ... by the way, we had 'Anglerglück', too.
Wonderful.
Have a good week.
Hello Dearest Angie; My husband LOVE fishing & sometimes he fishes alongside the seashore. He has handicap on his right leg, but it doesn't matter fishing that way p;-) He looked really envious for the GREAT time with all the family (^^♪） I wonder how wonderful diving is. Lots of Love; Miyako from Japan.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteYour Cayman trip sounds wonderful, fun times for your family. The food and fish look delicious, I love fish tacos. Take care, have a great new week!
What an adventure!

I hope you swam with the stingrays!
ReplyDeleteIt all looks so wonderful, Angie. I'm sure a good time was had by all!
ReplyDeletePS: Thank you for hosting, Angie!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! I didn’t realize you knew the owners and that they are Brits! Brilliant! The food looked very tasty! Great family traction now!
ReplyDeleteDear Angie,
ReplyDeletewonderful shots, wonderful memories!
My husband learned to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef a long time ago. I can't dive myself - but for me 8 hours on a boat would be heaven! (Even if I'm not a good fisherwoman ;-)
Have a great week!
Hugs, Traude

I love that last quote and I LOVE the sea! I've never been diving but you can sure see a lot more down deep in the water. The fishing looks like fun too but I would need some help if I caught anything! What a fun trip you had! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly enjoyed a wonderful trip.
ReplyDeleteGreat photographs and video.
All the best Jan
What an amazing trip. Nice to enjoy spa stuff while the men fished. Fun times, too, under the sea! The family that dives together...
ReplyDeleteThose family vacations are always the best and leave the best memories and then to record it in your post here it will be so much fun to look back on it later.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week Angie
ReplyDeleteMuch❤love
It’s not my cup of tea either but they obviously enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a great time.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. What a great vacation.
ReplyDeleteOh Angie, what a marvelous vacation you had with your kids. I've not been diving, but snorkeling was a fascinating experience for me, in the Caribbean - all that wonderful life beneath the surface! Thanks for sharing your adventures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great outing for all of you. The fishing would be great but I can tell you I don't do well in the open sea on a boat. The diving looks spectacular. The water is so clear and look at all the fish!
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you might not eat a porcupine fish but not eat a barracuda. Perhaps I need to google that? I thought it to be a shark. Fishing versus shopping? no contest.
ReplyDeleteSpending some fishes.
ReplyDeleteWow, beautiful photos and videos too. What a great trip with family and so many fun activities. Thanks for also including food photos...looks so good. I hope the ocean looked clean.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful trip and memories. Excellent photos and videos, Angie. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the men had a good day of fishing, but yippee for the ladies going to spa. I would certainly choose the spa over the fishing. Nice pictures on your dive. You really captured a huge variety of fish and interesting things down below. Sounds like everyone had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteOophs, forgot to say I popped in from a mutual friends blog, it's always fun to meet new bloggers. Hope you'll swing by for a visit.
