It was a great trip--2 nights in Grand Cayman and a week on Little Cayman. 20 dives in total.

We dove with Indigo Divers on Grand Cayman and stayed at the Little Cayman Beach Resort. Both dive ops were excellent, safe, and very professional--I can recommend them without any reservation.

Thanks to all on scubaboard for the great advice for our trip. Enjoy the video and happy diving!

Great video, were the eagle rays on GC or LC?

The eagle rays were on Little Cayman.

For all people heading there soon, we consistently read 81-82 degrees in the water (end of May) with little current and good visibility. The forecast predicted rain and high winds for the week, and we were warned on arrival that we might not be able to get around the the wall on some days, but luckily, the conditions changed for the better.

Nice. I was there the end of August last year and didn't see any, going back on August 26th. Water was nice and toasty at 84-85 all week.

Great video! Flyboy08 and scubaNYC16--NYC represent!

While we're on the topic, I should share our experience with Cayman Airways. Leaving Little Cayman, the flight was canceled/delayed/re-routed (not sure which because their story kept changing). We barely caught our connecting flight, and did so only after some pleading--the plane was still there but the gate had closed and they had to reopen it for us.

Try to leave as much time you're able to if you're connecting from a Cayman Airways flight the same day. I thought 3 hours was enough, and it was...barely.

Happy diving!

Must have been weather related. I had no issues with flights and had 3 hour layover and felt it took forever. Ha.
