Hurricane Season 2012

The experts predicted a busy season and so far they have been right. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted 14 to 23 named storms, with eight to 14 becoming hurricanes, meaning they have top winds of 74 mph or higher. The season began June 1st and ends November 30th. 

We are just  a few weeks in but we have already had LOTS of rain. 

  Grand Cayman has been very lucky so far and have not seen the damaging wind,
We obviously watch the weather on an daily basis looking for early sings of storm development but we always have our fingers crossed that none come our way

  So far we have had over 30 inches of rain which is almost the amount we get in one year!  The air temp has still been warm and the water temp is a very pleasant 82 degrees but a little less rain would be great.
As we write this blog it is still raining out, tomorrow they are saying 100% chance of thunderstorms and rain.

100% !!!!  we are still enjoying it, and the best place to be during the rain is under the water.  It's always a great day to dive cayman

Amazing Time!!!

the only operator in Grand Cayman to consider !!!

My wife and I dove with JJ Divers ,  I’ve been diving for 35 years, and honestly never had a better dive experience or been with a more friendly, personable service oriented dive operator. From the moment I spoke to Jacqueline by phone to the moment I left the dock to go home the last time,  the team were incredible hosts and distinguished themselves as the kind of people you love to do business with.
They make it simple to transition from the hectic workday world you left and step right back into the sport you love.

Your gear is all set, all you need to do is strap it on and step into your favorite place to be. The dives are all planned, no muss no fuss. they walk you thru the attractions to look for. The conversation between dives is light and lively, everyone was very engaging. They even turned me into a underwater photographer and it worked.  You get 5-star attention on every dive and great dive sites with ease and comfort — what more do you want.
My wife only dives to go with me, but they made her so comfortable that she is now ready to dive with me anytime – wow! For her, being purely a some-time recreational diver, she is often embarrassed or awkward about how little she remembers from dive to dive about setting equipment up and the basics. The team made her comfortable, no pressure, no expectations other than can you “hit the water when you step off”. She did and had a blast. She came home so pampered that she now thinks diving is only for royalty. As for me, I never wanted to leave.
if you are going to Grand Cayman, and looking for a dive shop, don’t waste your valuable dive and sun time making phone calls, get ahold of JJ Divers!! 

this week in cayman

We have had an awesome week of diving! We started out the week at Stingray City and a few North wall dives while the winds were quiet. The winds picked up and have been fresh out of the North east for the last few days. We have been nestled on the west side where we have been sheltered and have enjoyed some amazing dives. We are so lucky on Grand Cayman to be able to find a leeward side almost all the time unless the storm has a name!
Orange Canyon did not disappoint last Wednesday as we cruised around the pinnacle with two friendly hawksbill turtles. The vis was stunning and with the sun high in the sky, the reef was vibrant with color and loads of fish life. This weekend we have double wall  Charters and the wreck has been fantastic of late. The Goliath grouper continues to hang out and the school of horse eye jacks have moved right into the wheel house!. Wish you were here and can’t wait to dive with you all again soon.
