It's been sixteen years since we were last in the Cayman Islands. This trip was on the

Cayman Aggressor, starting in Grand Cayman and moving on. Sadly we only got to

spend a few days in Little Cayman due to weather problems, certainly not the crew or

the boats fault.

We see many changes since 2000.  Several new deliberately sunk ships provide

additional interest and habitat. The invasive Lionfish certainly weren't there in 2000.

The good news is that there is a huge resurgence of large Nassau Grouper in Little

Cayman.  There are now some effective conservation efforts by the people of Little

Cayman and they are supported by Reef Environmental Education Foundation, based

in Florida.
