What is the best time of year to scuba/snorkel in the Caymans?

I was wondering what months out of the year offer the best scuba or snorkeling conditions in the Cayman Islands.

Anytime of yr. is great to dive or snorkel in the Caymans. I'm a certified scuba diver & I book trips there all the time. If I were you & could afford it, I would try Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman. It's one of the most exclusive beaches & areas in the Caribbean. The scuba & snorkeling are excellent any time of yr. in the Caymans & because they're small islands, there's enough of a summer breeze so that's really never to hot. In the winter, the most you'd need is a thin wetsuit which you can get at any dive shop that rents gear & there inexpensive. Also, check with your resort & find out where the closer dive shop is to you & ask about charters. Most allow snorkeling with scuba divers & it's much cheaper. You can also rent snorkel gear & dive from the beach. If you have a little more money you can fly between Grand Cayman, Little Cayman & Cayman Brac all on Cayman Airlines. I think it's about a $30.00 RT/pp.

"Even though the Cayman Islands are one of the world's leading scuba-diving destinations, divers often avoid the islands in August and September, when tropical storms can churn the waters. However, because the islands have so many dive sites, you can almost always find places to dive, even in August and September."

hope that helps! check out the source as well for other information.

April, May,June, Nov are your best months. The high season is over, so prices will be a bit cheaper, April-June is before hurricane season gets going and November is just a perfect time to travel. Less tourists. Good package deals.

Enjoy and good luck)
