I am more than a little disappointed in recent reports of diving conditions in GC but I think most are on the west side (??). Can anyone offer any recent opinions of diving on the east side? We are planning on going in November and really hope to see plentiful sea life. Thanks for any recent info-
 
I was at Ocean Frontiers for a week in May 2024 and another week in October 2024. Going back for another week in April. Sealife was plentiful and varied. All the usual suspects. Routinely saw reef sharks. One hammerhead sighting. Saw some cool little stuff too (painted elysia and juvenile trunkfish pics courtesy of Heather S).

Ocean Frontiers runs a great operation and the associated Compass Point lodging is perfect for a dive vacation.

For more details check out the trip report for my May 2024 visit in Undercurrent.org.

We dove with Ocean Frontiers in October 2023. There had been some VERY warm water temps and we did see some evidence of bleaching, especially at more shallow depths, but it was still great diving and worth the trip. This was our second time with Ocean Frontiers; they're a great operation.
 
Nice photos, loved the painted elysia. I’ve seen numerous pictures of them and saw my first ones in Roatan last year. They aren’t much bigger than a grain of rice.
 
Love Ocean Frontiers and Compass Point but like most of the Caribbean the last few years have not been kind to the reefs. Then too much of the diving on the east is weather dependent so conditions may not allow diving in certain locations. Our last trip we also had issues with poor visibility further limiting dive site choices. But again none of this is unique to Grand Cayman
