and its VERY expensive !

if you do go, do stingray city. Best vacation time ever.

Be aware that there are two stingray city's. One is about 12' deep; the other, 3-4'. The former is frequented mostly by Scuba operators and the latter by snorkelers (cruise ship tours). The former is uncrowded (couple dozen people) and a blast...particularly if you scuba. The latter is CROWDED with up to hundreds of people competing for the stingrays...even saw and played with a Green Moray eel.

Of course the best activities on Grand Cayman are found in deeper waters. We were there last summer for 7 days of diving...4 out of East End (the name of the community...on the southeast corner of the island) ad 3 out of Georgetown (actually launched out of the north sound for north wall dives). Dove with 4 different dive operations: Cayman Dive Lodge, Divers Down, Red Baron, and Red Sail Sports. Best by far was the Cayman Dive Lodge. Worst, RedSail Sports...no service, lazy, not very friendly. Best on the west end was Divers Down. Red Baron was nice but boats were very small....crowded with 8.

I've got some of my photos at Camron's Grand Cayman Photos. The last 10-15 of them are Stingray City.
