Swamper Bound for Caymans

[TxIceDiver]

Contrary to the popular opinion, I do like warm water diving too. We are headed to the Cayman Islands on Nov 12th to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

Will be staying at Cobalt Coast on Grand Cayman.

I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the water temp in Cayman in November?

I hope you have a great time there. I predict the water temp will be only slightly better than Lake Travis, probably low - mid 80's. The vis on the other hand.....

Oh, and congrats on the anniversary.

Randy,
I am gonna guess that water temps will be somewhere between 80 and 84 deg F; probably leaning toward the cool end of that range. Water temps on Bonaire two weeks ago were a consistent 84 F.

Congratulations on the anniversary. Does the Mrs. know that you ice dive too?

Ari runs a great operation with Cobalt Coast. Check out Deep Blue Divers (Deep Blue Diver::Grand Cayman::Cayman Islands::Tel (345) 916 1293), Nick Buckley and Patrick Weir, for an outstanding dive operation. I have been with Divetech, but Deep Blue offers a much better dive experience. Very personal.

Enjoy the island, it is one of my favorites.

Thank you for the information. We are already booked with DiveTech on a package deal. But I will check out the Deep Blue operation as well.

I am guessing water temps around 79-81F.

My choices for exposure protection are a 2mm short, 5mm backzip or a dry suit. I guess that I will go with the 5mm. I don't think that I will get too warm.

I was diving in Lake Travis this weekend. The water temp was 78 and a 5mm was pretty much the perfect suit for the job.
