to achieve proper loop volume and stopped making
bubbles, they danced like no one was watching.
I heard some unforgettable sounds while diving with
the rebreather, too. I watched a parrotfish nibble the reef
for minutes on end, and I heard every crunch. Later, I
became keenly aware of a rushing roar that seemed to
come out of the heavy blueness around me as I hung
above a deep pinnacle.
On my last day in Cayman I was happy to get
acquainted with the wreck of the USS Kittiwake. The
Kittiwake lies in the sand a short distance from the top
of a wall, which plunges dramatically into untold depths.
Across the sand from the wreck, situated near the top of
the wall, massive coral structures rise high off the sand.
Swimming along the seafloor through a narrow passage
that separated two of these towering reef structures, I
emerged from between them at the top of the wall. As I
hung there above the void, its allure was tremendous.
“So this is what all those tech divers are going on
about,” I thought.
