Got a Groupon e-mail for a one day ferry trip to Bimini with FRS Caribbean for $69. I have to admit that I know nothing about Bimini, except that it's close to Florida and my bride likes the name. Would it be worth it to try to get a dive or two in if we leave Miami at 8 a.m. and leave Bimini...

You get the Reader's Digest version because I"m too lazy to post a real trip report. Today was the second Friday of three weeks on island. I had to work the first week, but we have dived the Babylon area from shore twice. Dived the Riviera shore dive twice during the day and once at night...

Hi, I'm looking for an ultrasonic cleaner to get my bride for Christmas. She's newly certified (authorized?) in reg maintenance and, while it will never be what she does for a living, she wants a UC so she can do the job right. I am honestly clueless about these things. I see there are a...

Hi, We have not one, but two, compasses that are not working correctly because they are off balance. A friend said that the part that spins has "come off the pin" and that's why they aren't working. Anyone have any ideas on a fix? Since they are non-functional as they are, I'm not adverse to...

Did a couple of shore dives out to Babylon last week and lost my hat on one of them. If you happen to run across a hat from Lost Reef in Key West, feel free to throw it in the washing machine and wear it in good health. Chances are very good that it washed up on shore, but we didn't have time...

Cayman Islands News Hope no one was hurt.

I find this both interesting and somewhat encouraging. Do those of you who have experience with Little Cayman over the years agree with this assessment of the health of the coral? Thanks. Cayman Islands News ---------- Post added October 11th, 2013 at 10:37 AM ---------- Click on the link...

It looks like we've got a full moon coming up. Anyone know if that means it's time for a Keys coal spawn?

Hi, I usually haunt the Cayman and Florida forums, but I have a camera question, so here I am. I need to get a camera and, since I'm buying locally, I've narrowed it down to two. The SeaLife DC1400 and the Olympus "Tough" TG-820 with a housing. They are within $10 of each other price-wise...

Surface interval. Went for a swim, no mask, no fins, the biggest ripples were caused by my treading water. Gotta love summer conditions!

Just got back from a week at Morritt's last night. Saturday, we went down to Sunset House to see friends and get in a shore dive or two. The fact that our flight landed from the wrong direction the night before and how calm things were out in Colliers should have been a clue that we would only...

Was on the Vandy and the Cayman yesterday. Conditions were a lot more like August than April. Flat calm, virtually no wind, very little current and great vis. What a day!!!

Hi, My bride and I are normally Caribbean divers and, quite frankly, I'm not a lover of cold water. That being said, we're planning on a trip down to Gilboa Quarry next weekend (May 5 & 6). Any educated guess on what the water temps will be in the shallower parts of the Quarry? We're not...

Anyone know where on Grand Cayman we can rent or (preferably) borrow a dive float/flag? Going to do some shore diving and a "don't run over me" marker could come in handy. Thanks.

Hi all, I did some searching and couldn't find what I was looking for in other threads, so here goes... Does anyone know if Island Air still does day trips to LC? Anyone done it? My wife really wants to visit either LC or the Brac (or both) sometime between now and mid-April. A weekend...

There's a very good chance the wife, the mother-in-law and your's truly will be heading to Taste of Cayman on Saturday. If you see a guy who looks like the picture to the left (my hair is few inches shorter now, but the beard is still gray), wondering around looking for another drink, say "Hi"...

Hi all, My wife wants to do her divemaster on Grand Cayman in January - February. We've both got our rescue c-card, so she's not totally starting from scratch. Anyone have a recommendation of who to work with? She would like to do some sort of a dive slave thing to gain added experience...

Hi, We're heading back down to Morritt's and the East End in November. Any major changes to Grand Cayman since last September? Anyone interested in running the 5k that kicks off Pirates' Week? My wife and I are planning on giving it a shot. We're not speedsters by any means, but it...
