Grand Cayman

We're leaving Thursday for the east end.....I can't remember if the Cayman's
allow dive gloves. Anyone know for sure? Thanks.

Allowed or not- not needed there at any rate. Don't bother with them.

It is discouraged, but not illegal. You can find all of the particulars at:

Some of the dive operators do, others don't. I don't recommend them, although
I always carry them with me.

I was there this summer on 7-mile side - NO Gloves

Not every gloved diver hurts the coral, and you already know this.

All right then, let's outlaw fins as well.

I wore my gloves when diving with Dive N' Stuff and the corals remained safe
and sound around me. However, when we dove with Ocean Frontiers for one
day, I was told "it's against the law". When I loudly called bullshit, the
DM offered to show me a copy of "the law". Not wanting to draw further
attention to myself, I gave in and kept the gloves off. Of course that's
that only time I noticed any damage to corals as a couple divers with poor
buoyancy control and even one of the OF DMs kicked the coral at one site.
That's why I'll never dive with Ocean Frontiers again.

Really? Do you have support for, details of, this? And any idea as to why
it should be so?
