I'm looking into my 2018 dive trips and I'm leaning towards the Cayman Islands since I've never been there. I'm looking at both Little Cayman and potentially Cayman Brac from a land-based trip, but the single supplement is pretty nasty at both of the Beach Resort properties. So then I turned my eye to the Aggressor as an option - especially since they have 25% off for a week in January 2018.
I really want to have the best chance to get over to Little Cayman and I understand that can't be guaranteed on the Aggressor due to weather. However is there a time of year that will increase my chances. From a personal standpoint, the best options are January or mid-April through mid-May.
I looked at the logs on the Aggressor site and it seems that the boat has been in dry dock for 2 of the last four Januarys and it seemed like it only made the crossing to LC/CB maybe 25% of the time. In reading the April logs for the past few years it looked closer to 80% or so.
Any thoughts on which month would be best to keep my chances as high as possible. Also, if April is the best option, that eliminates the 25% "Dive the World" savings and the Aggressor is than a decent bit more expensive their either Beach resort even with the single supplement. Although I haven't done the "per dive" calculation.
thanks for the input
