Red face Ridiculously last minute planning (SORRY!)
I feel awful begging for help after I've been so late in planning this, but with apologies I'm here to do it! Due to work I'm not often able to get away and it wasn't until yesterday afternoon that I was able to confirm that I can go ahead with a trip to the Caymans. I have a ticket arriving tomorrow, Friday, and departing next Thursday from Grand Cayman. That's the extent of my planning so far!

I am going to spend as much time as I can tonight reading through this forum but if anyone has advice for the trip I'm very, very grateful. I'm travelling alone and just going to dive and relax - no shopping, clubbing, nightlife for me. Little Cayman sounds like it might be a better fit for me, although I am planning to spend at least one night on Grand Cayman so that I can check out Stingray City, if thats advised!

I'm a novice diver, this will be my third week-long scuba trip, OW certified.

Once again, sorry for the emergency please and THANKS to anyone who has advice on islands, companies, or places to stay. I'll be scraping through the old posts every free minute I have tonight and tomorrow morning and hopefully I won't be sleeping in a park tomorrow night

Take a look at Sunset House's website. Hotel, bar, dive boats, shore diving all right there. Very friendly staff. Not so close to the beach, nightlife, shops as other places but it sounds like it may be what you're looking for (BTW, I am not afilliated to Sunset House)

Sunset house or next door (used to be Casa Bertmar). Best shore diving around, friendly atmosphere, good food, everything you need.
