No real comparison between Kona and the Caymans. Have been diving Hawaii for many years, and always loved the abundant creatures, sometimes clouds of them. Having started diving in Southern California kelp, the colorful fish were a delight. The hard coral was new and beautiful too.
Just to say we did it, wife and I did the very long flight to Little Cayman. Ok, the soft coral and sponges were nice and colorful, but where were the critters?
I was underwhelmed by the Caymans. Yes the soft stuff is colorful, but after you have seen a few, they are all the same, kind of like Disneyland. I dove 2-3 times a day for a week in what has been pumped up to be a pinnacle of diving. Only saw a very few unique critters. Mostly rather empty of anything.
Have been in clouds of Tang, Butterfly, and Surgeons in Kona, never came close to anything like that in Little Cayman. After a week there, saw one (1) spotted drum. Not much of anything else, but the colorful coral of course, and a few groupers. Kona is about fish/nudis/turtles/sharks/morays, and big stuff, not colorful coral. I'll take the critters any day, never know what you will see. Once you have seen a few colorful spong, you have seen them all...........
