For anyone planning a SCUBA trip or even a snorkeling trip to Cayman, do yourself a favor and wait a few years. DH and I are there now and we have been shocked at how little life we’ve seen on the reefs, or even in the deep blue off the walls. Our divemasters tell us that it’s a combination of two factors - extended period of very warm water last summer, for double the length of time summer normally lasts, and a big storm in February that covered up a lot of the coral with sand.
It’s sad. Some other divers at our resort told us they were here two years ago and the contrast is very dramatic. Perhaps if conditions are different it will improve over the next few years, but now is not the time for it.
