T&C gets down to 75 - too cold for me. The Caymans get a bit warmer, but dont hit that sweet spot where I can be in the water for hours without getting cold in February.
Growing up in the Midwest where all lake waters have murky muddy bottoms, it took a lot for me to go snorkeling. But salt water bears no resemblance to my previous water experiences. In salt water on a clear sunny low-wind day, one can simply float effortlessly (due to human buoyancy) & safely watch the beautiful creatures which are many feet below. Until you stick your face mask in & see what you’ve been missing, it’s impossible to describe.

It is mesmerizing.
