Southern Cross, Little Cayman

Fantastic but challenging diving during this time of year. Tends to be windy and most of the dive sites are on the northern side of the island and the hotels are on the southern side requiring a 30 minute boat trip. Once, we could not do a second morning dive because conditions were to rough. There is the possibility that the dive boats may not be able to make it through the cut the surrounds and protects the southern coast of the island. Many wall dives and some swim throughs. The coral, sponge and fish are very healthy. This is what Grand Cayman was like 20 years ago. The lodge was very nice with an excellent dive operation.

Grand Cayman

When we first went to Grand Cayman, Seven Mile Beach had 4 hotels on it. The diving was fantastic. I went again late 1990s and there were so many hotels the beach was barely visible. The diving was nice with the reefs if ok condition.
