Comments We originally booked an Aggressor trip but got cancelled two weeks before the trip was to start. Later heard "rumors" that the Aggressor hadn't sailed for almost 3 months.. go figure.
We researched land-based diving through Undercurrent reports and settled on Indigo Divers. We weren't disappointed.
We had 3 days of 2-tank Nitrox dives and visited dive sites on the West Bay, ... Subscribe to get the full story. For Subscribers Only  Active subscribers continue reading here

Hi Paul, thanks for the report. What were the effects of SCTLD on the reefs you visited?
By report author: PAUL KECSKEMETY in AZ, US at Sep 21, 2022 12:35 EST  
Not sure what SCTLD stands for. We stayed to the west and north of Grand Cayman. The reefs were generally healthy, little (no) coral bleaching. The condition of the reef improved with depth 70 to 90 ft. Walls were especially healthy with lots of juvenile fish, some sharks and a spotted eagle ray, 1 or 2 lion fish.

Sorry, my mistake, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, reported off Grand Cayman in June 2020, rapidly spread around most of the island. I was trying to get an idea regarding the extent of damage. Thanks for your reply
