Hi All,

Grand Cayaman has added a shallow water program for all ages to enjoy, for 1 year old and up. This shallow water experience lets you learn about the dolphin in a non-swimming environment.

The program in Grand Cayman is called the Dolphin Lover “Shallow Water Encounter” Program. <<< Click here to learn more.

This program would be perfect for Cruise Ship passengers coming to this beautiful island.

Hi All,

I caught this on the TV news last night and I thought I would investigate it more on google today. As it seems, a small group of dolphins swam into a bay in Canada, to fish for food. A sudden storm came and froze the bay water. The escape to the open ocean was also frozen for the dolphins and now the dolphins are trapped.

Now the bay is getting more and more frozen and the whole bay will be frozen over. The dolphins soon won’t be able to breath and die. Pretty sad stuff.

Well this is the latest news I read online from a Canadian Publications.

It reads… Distressed by the suffering of a group of trapped dolphins, men in a small Newfoundland outport took matters into their own hands on Thursday and cut a path through ice in a bay to help the dolphins but this may have caused more problems then helped < Read More about the Dolphins Plight>

Fisherman Trying to Rescue Dolphins

Did the fisherman do the right thing by helping the dolphins or should they have left the dolphins alone? You need to read the story in order to see what the fisherman did.

Hi All,

I find this really interesting, what the US Navy is doing with Bottlenose Dolphins and Sea Lions. Right now the navy wants to use these mammals to protect a Navy Submarine Fleet in Washington State. You need to read this article from LA Times:

The article reads:
The Navy wants to use dolphins and sea lions to protect a Puget Sound submarine fleet, as the mammals do in Georgia. But opponents say the waters off Washington state are too cold for the animals. < Read More>

Dolphin and Navy Handler

Do you think the Navy should use the marine mammals to protect the submarine fleet?
I would love to hear your opinion.

Hi All,

Here is a story we wrote about Grand Cayman. This place is one of the most friendly and prettiest islands in the Caribbean.  Being a popular tourist destination, you need to read this story because it may lure you go to this Caribbean jewel for some warmth from your winter blues. Besides swimming with the dolphins on Grand Cayman, you have some of the best scuba diving, snorkeling, and the world’s best beaches.

The story start with…
The grand mystique and shades of haze that cover the confines of these islands are only a testament to their wonder and beauty. The history of the Grand Caymans is one of simple origin, as most countries within the Caribbean were at the beginning of the 1600’s, they became a territorial possession of Great Britian < Grand Cayman Story>

Has anyone been there? What is your opinion of this island?
