There is still a lot of visible damage on Grand Cayman, though I believe the hotels and points of interest for tourism are open. We did not stay there, so do some searching, or start another thread.
Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are fine. You have to look pretty hard to find the damage.

I just got back from Roatan where I did a bunch of diving and the last dive was a night dive off west end about 200 Yards or so. After a bit of cruising on the wall at night we lay down on our backs in about 25 feet of water and killed the torches. After a minute or so the "Pearls" started to appear. After 5 minutes their were literally hundreds if not thousands of strings shimmering in the darkness and creating so much light that I could see those around me.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO COOL!
It rates higher than feeding brain coral at night!
The DM said they are a bioluminescent form of bacteria that "line up" in the water.
Whatever they are, they are something everyone should experience at least once.
Scooter Out!
