Westin Grand Cayman ??

[nipi]

It is extremely unusual at that time of year for it to be too rough to dive here.
Generally speaking if we do get any bad weather it comes in the form of "Nor'westers" as they are locally known. These are basically cold fronts that extend down from the good old US of A (thanks a bunch!) and bring stronger Northerly or North Westerly winds for a while.
"Cold" is of course a relative term here; temperatures have been known to hit the low sixties on a really bad day!!

Norwesters are not neccesarily all bad as they do mean that although the West and normally calm side of the island can get quite rough they also mean that the South and normally rough side of the Island gets calm. This gives us a great opportunity to dive some fantastic sites which are normally subjected to lots of surge.
The down side is that there is virtually no shore diving on the south side of the island as entries and exits are extremely difficult due to high ironshore, barrier reefs and swells.

CJ - I can list 25+ south side sites I have dived from shore though, granted, they are easier to access during a good nor'wester.
