Comments I live in Cayman most of the year and wanted to relay some Post Ivan, Grand Cayman Island dive information. Post Ivan I have dived on the East End and West Side of the island and the reef was largely unaffected by the recent storm. Dive sites are clean with no debris and marine life looks good. There was a large amount of sand movement on the West Side but the sites look good.
I have dived with Ocean Frontiers on the East End who back to normal and looking good and with Red Baron on the West Side who have 2 boats operating. Other dive operations are working on the west side as well. Dive N'Stuff is expecting to be running again within days. Nitrox is available.
The limitation is not with the diving or dive operations but with finding accomodations. Rental cars are available and many restaurants are open.
The island is in the process of reconstruction and many places are using this as an opportunity to upgrade their facilities.
