Below are links to the recent Captain's logs for the Cayman Aggressor. It sounds like your trip log began on April 28, because they only spent a short time on Little Cayman and quickly came back to GC to mostly dive the west side.
But the very next week, the trip logged beginning on May 5, they spent most of the time on Little and Brac and they dived the Russian Frigate.
It was the same Captain on board during both weeks so the winds must have been uncooperative during your trip, that is what I meant by bad weather. It can be sunny and beautiful outside, but if the winds aren't with you, you may not have the best possible LOB trip. The fact that you did so many Aggressor dives on the West side of GC suggests that the weather just wasn't cooperating, and that's a shame.

No, actually it was not the same captain. The top link that you posted is the link to the list of all logs for the CAIV, not the logs for my April 28 trip. The bottom link that you posted is the link to my April 28 trip, not to the May 5 trip. Here is the link to the log of the May 5 trip.
Our captain was Manny, and he left for his own well-deserved vacation after we completed our April 28 trip. The log of the May 5 trip, which began after Manny went on vacation, identifies the captain as Alan.
If I understand Captain Manny correctly (and keep in mind that English is not his native language), it sounded like he saw no point in going to Cayman Brac at all, even if and when the weather cooperated. His thinking seemed to be that, if we could not dive the north wall of Little Cayman, which was preferable only because it was shallow, we might as well go back to the deeper Grand Cayman. I asked about going to Cayman Brac instead, or perhaps the south side of Little Cayman, and he said that there was no point in going to either of those places because they were both deep like Grand Cayman too, so we might as well go back to Grand Cayman, which would be "the same type of diving" (his exact words). He did not say anything about weather preventing us from accessing Cayman Brac or the south side of Little Cayman. In other words, he seemed to be thinking solely in terms of depth and not in terms of other factors, like the more pristine reefs or abundant marine life of the two sister islands, compared to Grand Cayman.
I think that most people here might dispute his assertion that Cayman Brac or the south side of Little Cayman have "the same type of diving" as Grand Cayman solely because they are deeper. I think that prospective CAIV guests might also want to know that at least this one captain evidently thinks that Cayman Brac is not worth visiting at all, even under favorable weather conditions (if I understood him correctly).
