Awesome price but what happens if specific sites already have someone on them. Is the mooring situation actually sorted so she can use other moorings? Also when say Bonnies Arch is done how long do you stay on mooring? The list of 8 sites, most minutes away from each other in GC, over 7 to 10 nights with up to 5 dives a day seems a bit limiting. Are other sites included just not on the list? Can you actually stay on a public mooring all day if that is the plan?? Thank you.

Good questions!

Thank you for your comments.
Indeed, there are many more dive sites that are just not listed. The Top Dive Sites map visited by Cayman Aggressor V is attached.
Also, as per other points mentioned, the information received from the operator himself: "There is only one liveaboard operating in the Cayman Islands. There are never any other boats in close vicinity where the Cayman boat moors. Never any boat-traffic jams. Since the Cayman Aggressor is a much larger vessel than any dayboats, it uses the larger moorings which has two pins in the reef. The CA V usually stays for 2 dives on each site and this is the absolute best way to dive Cayman since each dive, even on the same divesite, brings new critters and animal encounters as well as various underwater topography. When all divers are up after a second dive at a divesite, including Bonnies Arch, the CA V leaves for its next destination. Sometimes Bonnies Arch can only be done once, since currents at this NW point can pick up really quick and be fairly strong. A boat can stay on a mooring the whole day but as a courtesy, no operator does that."
Hope that answers your questions.

Well thank you. I have been on everyone of the dive sites listed in Grand Cayman some dozens of times. Never been on a liveaboard here. The only site I know of with multiple mooring balls here is The Kittiwake. The others are one ball per site and most are not double pins. Is she mooring on the few double pin sites available and sending divers out on a rib??? We often have been moored right next to CAIV on dive sites over the years and our sites are pretty much all lined up next to each other. Cannot imagine how she can go to those sites and not be next to other boats. In fact two Aggressor divers tried to get on our six pack which was moored one ball over a couple of years ago. The couple had an interesting “discussion” after they realized their navigational error and were not pleased that they had to swim back to her. There is no way the new Aggressor can go to those dive sites and not have other ops right next to them. Just saying what actually happens here :) unlike places such as The Galapagos which we did with Aggressor and loved. Yes it is a courtsey to leave popular dive sites as soon as your divers are back on board. They are public moorings which we all share and we like to be fair to other ops and their guests as well.
