Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

Known as the king of all Caribbean diving sites (and there are many), the Caymans boast all the features scuba divers demand. First, the weather is pretty much beautiful year round, with rain occurring only in spurts during the summer months. Second, the water is warm and clear, ideal for exploring Grand Cayman?s reefs and watching stingrays and angelfish in their habitat. Third, visitors have access to both well-known and untouched scuba areas. A little research will lead you to operators who are willing to take you to the most secluded spots... if you're into that. Peak tourist times -- when you're likely to kick another diver with your flipper -- are mid-December to mid-April. The summer months are quieter, but rain and hurricane threats tend to scare visitors away.
