Sorry - I don't see that anywhere in the article that was linked in the OP. Hence my comment.

Once my partner and I get vaccinated, Grand Cayman is absolutely going to be the first place I go. I don't mind getting tested at all. All the reasons folks have been giving of why they feel that Cayman is being so overly controlled with this are precisely the reasons I want to go there first...

I am one of the owners at Coconut Bay and can confirm that the condo association have stated that they do not provide shore diving facilities for anybody that is not staying in the complex. The tanks that are put out are for those staying in the complex. There are all sorts of liability...

There is no doubt that the tourism business has taken a massive hit - no cruises, no hotels, no dive ops... Opening up to any tourists before COVID-19 is brought under some degree of control worldwide (which it most definitely isn't yet) is going to open up a risk to the residents on the...

We are all losing our minds... :-)

For me it was an easy decision - cancel my next Cayman trip and my planned trip to the USVI for diving in the late summer. We are not getting a full refund, but don't expect it - don't see why businesses should be the only ones that suffer - vacations are, by definition, discretionary money...

The statements are for the whole of the Cayman Islands are are not just restricted to Grand Cayman. There was a question during last week's update about air travel between the islands and they said that it would not be changed.

Really appreciate all the replies so far!

For various reasons I want to visit the U.S. Virgin Islands for 2 weeks this summer. There will be 6 of us, all certified divers (some with NITROX, others just OW). We have dove several Caribbean Islands over the years - Cozumel, Grand Cayman, Saba, Curacao, St Martin and would love to get a...

I think that for divers without a lot of dives under their belts who want to do other things during their overnight surface intervals, and want a more "go with the flow" dive experience, you can do a lot worse than staying at one of the locations in West Bay that provide shore dives on site...

Big fan of C.U.D. Unfortunately Graham is no longer on island, but Brad is still going out. Love the later start, the small groups, the fresh mangoes from his garden when in season and (when it's working) the underwater one-way radio where he points things out underwater and tells you what it...

See, I feel that this is where Cayman differs from a lot of Caribbean islands. Tourism isn't the number on money-making business, and it's the expats living on the island, going out and eating that keep most of the restaurants in business. Overnight tourists spend far more money on groceries...

See I think that it's a mixed blessing - while there are more people banging into corals and mishandling the wildlife, there are also far more people who get a first-hand experience of the fragile underwater environment that surrounds us an supports our life on this planet. Not some crazy Shark...

Tragedy strikes as elderly man dies after diving

Loop News is reporting a fatality associated with a diver in George Town. Obviously there are no details yet, but any death associated with our sport is sad. Tragedy strikes as elderly man dies after diving The man was 72 years old and is from Mississippi and was out on a dive boat when he...

Correct - having TSA Precheck and a Known Traveler Number is no promise that you will get the TSA Precheck stamped on your boarding pass, even if it's an airport where it is accepted and with a partner airline - the idea is that randomly they will run you through the full checks. That is...

Kathy, I very much doubt that you have used Global Entry when leaving the USA - that is only for entering the country. TSA Pre is for leaving. It's not about "accepting TSA status" - there is a whole process to get the airlines to the point where they can participate in the program - it's not...

OK, lots of terms being thrown around here, and it seems confusing as to what applies when. So here goes my understanding, in the hope it clarifies. (skip to the end if you don't want the details). There are three facets of travel that different programs cover - security prior to boarding...

I wonder if this is the same nurse shark that was known as "Finn" - another one with hook removed from mouth. I met him at the Oro Verde wreck site.

The PADI site at Enriched Air Diver | PADI says "two optional (or required) scuba dives" confusing? I would say so.
