General maps of each dive were reviewed on the boat before each dive. Although each dive was self-guided you were expected to dive the dive plan. Maximum depth and time of dive were check upon boarding the boat after each dive. |

I enjoyed my first trip to the Grand Caymans. The diving was different from Cozumel in that there were no currents and no dive masters going along on each dive. Also travel time to the dive sites were shorter in the Caymans. The weather in March was very pleasant (low 80s) and we had a lot of sunny days. There was a lot of shopping and exploring to take up the afternoon hours. The Turtle Farm is a must see, but don't bother going to Hell which is a real tourist trap. Learning how and were to catch the city buses is an advantage. Seven Mile Beach is beautiful. If you want isolation, don't stay in or around Georgetown. I enjoyed diving in the Grand Caymans. In a weeks time I saw spotted eagle rays, barracuda, tarpon, angle fish, lobster, banded shrimp, french grunts, fairy basslets and others I could't identify. The Sunset House is a dive oriented establishment. The people were friendly and helpful. I would go there again. One thing to keep in mind in going to the Caymans is that it is 25% more expensive than in the U.S. Overall, I'm glad I have this experience logged in my dive book. |
