Where exactly are the Cayman Islands?
We didn’t really know either before this trip, but the Cayman Islands are a British territory located south of Cuba, about a 90-minute flight from Miami. English is the main language spoken, so it’s an easy country for us monolingual Americans to travel to. The Cayman Islands are possibly most famous for being a place where people stash their money to avoid paying taxes (it features prominently in John Grisham’s book/movie The Firm). Grand Cayman is the largest island, with lots of beach resorts and infrastructure and about 70,000 people. Cayman Brac is considerably smaller with 2,000 residents. Little Cayman, where we were, is the “littleist” island, with about 150 residents and lots of interesting wildlife, both in the water and on land.
So wonderful! All of it! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for reading, Nina. We love to share our adventures with friends and family!
Hey, this is simply marvelous!! We went to Grand Cayman Islands for Patty’s honeymoon, when she married Bill 35 years ago! We had a condo right on the beach and enjoyed every minute of it! Looks like you all enjoyed a fascinating scuba adventure.
Love, Phyllis
Never knew that Patty’s honeymoon was a group effort!! Yes, when we were not diving it seemed like we were eating or sleeping. We crammed in video classroom sessions to review our footage. That’s about it but what a great trip!
Cindy and Hank,
What a fabulous trip and destination!
Thanks so very much for letting us share this adventure with you through your pictures,video and narrative…
Cindy does such a great job with the text for the blog. About half of the video clips are hers too! But it took quite a bit of effort to make it to Little Cayman. It’s way out there.
Incredible! the photography is as amazing as the skill of the adventure itself. Such a wonderful series of photos and descriptions. Great to see.

Thanks, Diane! We don’t consider our video/photo skills to be great, but we love to share shots of the amazing animals in the ocean. I only wish more people could see it for themselves! Thanks for reading.
awesome video work!!! Weather look marvelous, nice and warm.
Janice, best weather for Little Cayman. Not usually that calm. You would have loved the resort. Good snorkeling spot.
Great job Cindy and Hank, pleasure diving with you and see you in Fiji hopefully.
Will, thanks for your comment. Yes, we’re in for Fiji!!
That about sums it up! I can’t believe how calm and clear it was! I would definitely recommend that place to anyone (even with the luggage weight restrictions!).
Jeff, we loved the food too! We have such great memories of hanging out on the boat, filming underwater, then coming topside to share the adventures!
Great job Cindy and Hank for the description of the Little Cayman trip, pictures and videos. Young and I had good time and were enjoy diving with you. You are our role model. We will see you in Fiji next year.
Thanks, Li! We look forward to seeing you in Fiji next year. Happy diving!
