Still windy conditions but diving Grand Cayman has never been more exciting. We have been diving the Kittiwake the last few days and starting to notice more life even though she has been down for about 6 weeks now. A Goliath Grouper has made the giant prop and rudder a great napping place. While soldier fish, sharp-nosed puffers and chromis still tuck inside the nooks and crannies. Stu said he found an old Hustler floating around during a dive and it looked like it was from long ago. Maybe more treasure will start to float to the top for us to enjoy! A break in the wind will allow us to move north and dive Grand Cayman north wall for the next few days. Probably dive Wall-Nut around on Sunday. Not looking forward to all the lion fish we will see. Certain they have taken advantage of the past 10-12 windy days and multiplied!
We would like some feedback from you guys too. Would anyone be interested in doing 1-tank dawn dives for US$75? Great opportunity to get a dive in before work or better your chances of shark sightings as they move with the tide!

Kittiwake Crazy!
So we're taking advantage of the windy weather and diving Grand Cayman west wall, especially NW point as much as possible. Orange Canyon has been spectacular! We have had more fish life and extra great conditions making every one of our Grand Cayman diving excursions most memorable! Diving the Kittiwake today was extra special because of the visitors to the wreck. We had about a 50lb goliath grouper, a magnificent school of horse eyed jacks, and two large cubera snapper that followed us around for most of the dive. Also making homes on the wreck are schools of juvenile chromis, sharped nosed puffers and squirrel fish. On our safety stop we had the pleasure of a spotted eagle ray gliding across the sandy bottom. Most of the time we are diving Grand Cayman west wall the conditions are perfect, the fish life most abundant and now the Kittiwake is providing not only a giant attraction to explore but generations of new residents to observe. What are you waiting for people! Book Now!

Another Shot of Winter
After some fantastic days diving Grand Cayman north wall the winter weather is about to set in......Well for at least the next week! We have moved Wall-Nut around west, ahead of the 20-25kt NE winds that have been predicted. Hopefully when this weather passes we will be able to dive Grand Cayman north wall straight through to the spring and summer months! Yeah Right! For now we will be exploring the west side walls, reefs and wrecks which are sure to bring some amazing wildlife and excitement. Another bonus of the west are the convenient beach pick ups which we offer at almost all of the 7-mile beach condos and hotels. Don't forget to make your Spring Break reservations early this year and get a 10% discount on your final tab.
Come on....you know you want to!

How Lucky!
Old Man Winter spared us yet again and allowed us to dive Grand Cayman north wall.....in February! We came across 4 super friendly Spotted Eagle-rays. They cruised in formation along the top edge of Black Forest, one Grand Cayman dive site not to miss! Second dive was on Lemon wall. We got lucky again with a free swimming moray eel, more eagle rays and a great macro spot of a rare Leopard Flat-worm. Diving Grand Cayman continues to impress even when those we love and care about are stuck in the ice and snow. Come for a visit and thaw out people!
