Nalla Posted August 16, 2015 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2015 We will be in GC in mid-December this year. I understand that air temperature will probably be in the low 80's, but can anyone tell me about water temperatures? We are trying to decide if we want to snorkel, but it's no fun if you're cold. What about for seeing the sting rays on the sandbar? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisyloo Posted August 16, 2015 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2015 We did the Stingray City Sandbar in December last year. It was beautiful weather and the water was warm - very pleasant. We loved that excursion and are doing it again this December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 16, 2015 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2015 water temp and being cold is very subjective I notice the previous post is from a person from Canada . . . when I think my pool is frigid at 75f .... they might WONDER at the warm water Cayman waters seldom drop below 80f ..... but here's dd after a dive in March she was cold from the AIR!

OCruisers Posted August 17, 2015 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2015 We never have a problem with the Grand Cayman water temperatures in the Jan/Feb time frame. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted August 17, 2015 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2015 It's always warm....warmer than the Atlantic in NC, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted August 17, 2015 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2015 You should find the water temperature to be relatively warm. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted August 17, 2015 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The water is coldest in late February to early March. The water is at its warmest around October. In December I would expect water temperatures of about 82°F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beach_gal Posted August 18, 2015 #8 Share Posted August 18, 2015 We were there this past December/January and the water was warm. Sorry I don't know the temperature, but I hate cool water and I thought it was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
