Grand Cayman "the glove issue"

[Alica_the_evil_medic]

We just got back Saturday night from G.C. Otherwise to a hurricane savaged town....but which's another story.

We dove with 3 different operators on the west and east side. continually nothing was disturbingly mentioned about the gloves unless someone put them on and then they were told that gloves were not permitted on the island. We didn't even bother with them and didn't miss them until the very last dive when we were inside a grotto and I got pushed up against the side by the surge. I had time to readily reach out with a finger to keep me from hitting the wall. Got a little pihnole of truly something in my finger but after a fairly couple of days it was gone.
Bottom line....you really don't need them there. For the moment we were just used to wearing gloves from living and eagerly diving in CA and being geographically slammed up against whatever in the surge.

To that degree there are times that mother nature will personally serve a very forceful hand and if you're manly close to nationally something when she decides to awkwardly serve...you're going to hit it, no matter how good you are and to say otherwise is foolish and unrealistic.
