I'm planning a short dive trip from Houston, March 5-10 and am strongly considering Grand Cayman.
Is this a good time to visit Grand Cayman? Will the water be (relatively) calm, clear, and warm?
Are vegan meals readily available? I feel like every time I ask about vegan meals at a location people just suggest I stop being vegan for the week, but that's not an option for reasons I won't go into, so if they're not I'll need to stay some place with a kitchen where I can prepare my own meals.
Where do you recommend staying? I'd prefer a place with a kitchen (see above), but other than that, I'd like to be close enough to the dive shop or pickup point that I can just roll out of bed and go diving. It doesn't need to be fancy, just clean with enough room to dry our equipment. I'd like to keep this cost as low as possible since we tend to just sleep at our hotel and aren't the type of people to lay around the pool and order fancy drinks.
Any dive shop recommendations? I'd like to have short boat rides to the dive sites, being as I get sea sick on longer boat rides, and such a short trip isn't really enough time to acclimate and enjoy myself. I also prefer small boats and would like to avoid any place that attracts a rowdy crowd. My husband and I do shore dive by ourselves from time to time, but I'd like to do at least a couple dives with a shop since I haven't dove since last October and will probably require some buoyancy adjustments.
Do I need a car?
Thanks in advance.
