The fish came, and so did the divers. So now, divers trying to pick from among the three Cayman Islands have a tough decision to make. Those traveling with a non-diver might prefer to stay in Grand Cayman, where there are more options for snorkeling and plenty to do without getting wet. More serious divers may opt instead for Little Cayman or Cayman Brac, and with only about 150 hotel rooms between the two, the choice may come down to availability. Since the distance between the two islands is less than seven miles, dive operators will cross over to enjoy each other's attractions.
Divers can have their Bloody Bay Wall and their Russian destroyer.
Fla. Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are about 90 miles northeast of Grand Cayman, a 45-minute plane trip. Island Air offers twice-daily service between Grand Cayman and these Sister Islands. Many cruise lines call at George Town. There is no cruise ship dock in the Cayman Islands, so passengers are taken by tender from the ships to George Town. The Cayman Islands always enjoy summerlike temperatures and cooling trade winds.
