Grand Cayman newbie w/questions....

[Carnell04]

I was thinking of going 11/15-22. How is the weather at this time? Rain? We may stay at the Ritz-Carlton. What is the best way to find a good Dive OP? Do they pick me up there or do I have to get to them? Thanks.

If you are going to Grand Cayman, I cant recommend Casey at Neptune's Divers highly enough.

About Neptune's Divers - We make diving fun with wall dives, shallow dives, wreck dives and daily instruction

I dove with them for 10 days a few years ago and they were awesome. I know nothing about the Ritz though. I am a big fan of renting a car and staying on the north side. It is away from the down town areas and you get to meet a lot of locals.

Are all the dive ops this expensive? $200 for 4 dives (2 2-tank dives)???

As I recall, things on Cayman are a bit more expensive than other destinations, but I thought 100 for 2 tanks was pretty standard? Am i wrong? It is about $80 for a boat dive here in California.

With neptune's though you will see at most 7 other divers, not 20. A lot of the dives I did them were just me, the kid and 1 or 2 other people.

That's about right...which is why we're doing as many shore dives as possible. But some of the operators give you a package deal...more days diving, a bit of a break in price.
