Have you ever wondered what it's like to live under the sea? Whether it's a fish, marine mammal, or invertebrate- all marine life has developed sensory abilities over millions of years to best allow them to survive in ocean environments. 

Join us for a deep dive into the wacky ways sea creatures perceive their environments- from reef fishes' ultraviolet detection, to the "sixth sense" of sharks, to the ability of octopuses to "taste" through their skin, plus many more amazing sensory abilities.

At just 10 square miles, Little Cayman remains true to what a Caribbean Island should be. The Island was mostly uninhabited and rarely visited until the mid-19th century and to this day continues to have limited development.
