Grand Cayman After The Hurricane Season

Written by Clint Leung

Continued from page 1

According to other passengers who ventured to other parts of repparttar island, repparttar 133879 damage from repparttar 133880 hurricanes was more visible with fallen trees and some buildings still not repaired yet. A few of repparttar 133881 organized tours by repparttar 133882 cruiseship were also not available. We decided in advance to do some scuba diving off repparttar 133883 shore and Eden Rocks Scuba Center was a 5 minute walk from repparttar 133884 port. There are two decent shore dives right in front of their dive shop and we spend repparttar 133885 morning diving repparttar 133886 site called Devil's Grotto. Instead of paying $85 US for a typical Cayman boat dive trip, I ended up paying just $8 US for a rental for a tank.

I didn't go to other parts of repparttar 133887 island during this trip but have been to repparttar 133888 turtle farm, Hell village and Stingray City before. They are all worthwhile sites to visit. I wanted to take my girlfriend scuba diving at Stingray City in repparttar 133889 afternoon but for some reason, only repparttar 133890 snorkelling sections of Stingray City were available that day. So after returning to repparttar 133891 cruiseship for lunch, we went back ashore to do some shopping. We would like to come back to Grand Cayman again for a longer stay in repparttar 133892 future.

In summary, most of Grand Cayman appears to be back in business again after repparttar 133893 hurricanes. It is one of repparttar 133894 nicer but pricier ports to visit in repparttar 133895 Caribbean.
