We loved the tiny island of Salt Cay and the people. Debbie at Salt Cay Divers helped us make travel arrangments and on site reservations. It was pretty windy and the visibility was stirred up a bit. The dive operation is first class. Matt and Trevor set up all of our equipment each day. Most of the diving is done from small boats, backrolling into the water. The walls are nice but there was quite a lot of sand covering some of the coral. Dive your own profile and come up with 500 psi. Very friendly staff and hard working to make sure you enjoy your vacation. Several people told us that a good time to visit is May and June. We did see a few whales and sometimes heard them calling while diving. Some wonderful places to eat include Island Thyme, Pats, Mt Plesant and the Green Flash. Make reservations ahead to be sure food is prepared. Very quiet, uncrowded and remote island. Transprotation is by bicycle or golf cart. Not a lot of beaches but a wonderful place to visit. |
