I have to make a decision on when to visit Grand Cayman for 7-10 days with the family. Because of kids' schedules, I'm stuck with the beginning of July or the beginning of October. My wife favors October because it gives her more time to get passports for the kids, while I'm leaning toward July. October also gives me more time to get everyone certified at a more leisurely pace and get a number of dives under their belts before going on a serious dive trip.
I've checked the weather sites and historical averages and I understand that October is the wettest month, but those data do not answer the most important question: does the weather prevent diving and land-based activities? If the storms are the dump-a-bunch-of-rain-in-30-minutes-then-leave variety, I'm not terribly concerned. Or are the storms persistent, days-long affairs that will shut down the dive ops on the island?
Thanks in advance.
