Diving GC in November

[Shimon]

Is this a safe bet? How are conditions/water temp in Nov?

Should be okay. The winter weather doesn't generally kick up until Dec-Feb.

I'd expect water temps 77-80F. Warmer, if early in the month.

Even if the weather acts up, you can almost always dive the West or South. In my experience, North wall is a 50:50 proposition that time of year

Chances of a hurricane are not high but more than negligible: Hurricanes and Storms

You always have a choice of sides to dive in Cayman. If you are in the 7 Mile area, you will most likely be West or South/Southwest. But, yes, you will have diving. Tom @ Off The Wall Divers

I would agree with all of the comments I have seen so far. November still has a lot of risks, but it can be nice weather. (In contrast, October is almost always thoroughly miserable!) From my experience, December is better than November and January even better than December. I have seen Novembers where it was generally clear, calm, and sunny. I have also seen November when it rained every day of the month and the sea was very choppy.

I was in GC last week Thursday and the conditions were spectacular. The visibility was 100ft+ with calm waters.

Hi,

When in Nov are you going? I am planning a visit to GC Nov 14-19. I also live in Mass.
