"Sheet of glass" calm is very rare for Cayman. A handful of days each year.
Agree - I would say a handful of days every 2-3 years even. Here we are shore diving Blowholes that day (attached).

But the best dives on Grand Cayman are the WEST WALL. Thats where all the famous sites are: Trinity Caves, Big Tunnel, Little Tunnel, dozens more. Very cool! Westward ho!
Well everyone is entitled to their opinion but IMHO you are dead wrong.
yeah, I also disagree. Those sites are famous because they've been dove for so long by so many people. Which tends to make the diving not the best anymore.We did one East End dive during our 2 week/10 dive vacation.
I have one word for you...
ROUGH!
If you are not prone to sea sickness, don't mind a really rough boat ride, want great diving at any price, and price IS HIGH THERE! Then do a dive or 2 at the East end, it was the Ocean Frontiers place. Great service though!
The dives on the North side, also pretty rough some days, just as good and MUCH CLOSER.

uh, that's for a 2-tank dive, not per dive.Ocean Frontiers at over $100 per dive! We use Neptunes, or other small operators that charge at least 20% less, and give much bettter service with only 8 divers.
Did a two-tank yesterday with OF's. I recorded 87 degrees on the second dive and 85 on the first....there was definitely a hot water spout somewhere there.
