    realize that "sea lice" are not unique to Cayman, lots of places have them at various times.

    Yeah, that's what I've read. But I grew up in Puerto Rico and I dive every year in the Keys. I swear the first time I heard about these things was when my wife brought it up in reference to this Cayman trip...unless this is the same thing we used to call "agua mala".

    I have heard the thimble jellyfish larvae thing referred to as "pica pica" in latin-speaking countries. See Pica Pica, PicaPica, critters in the water... for an account.

    You can definitely get them all over - Belize and Florida included (see Sea Lice | Florida beaches for more details on that).
