January is a great time for a Caribbean escape and Grand Cayman is an excellent choice for anyone looking for sun, sand and tropical temperatures. This month the island is proud to be the host for a couple of great events, if you are going to be in Grand Cayman be sure to check these out!
The Taste of Cayman Food and Wine Festival is in its 22nd year and just keeps getting bigger and better. The event has become so successful that the island has deemed January to be “culinary month”. January 9-16th, 2010 more than 30 vendors will participate in the festival and the event promises to please your taste buds with samples from the finest chefs and restaurants and over two dozen wineries. Children will love the special kid-sized events with face painting and jewelery making. Grown-ups may sip a mojito or glass of champagne, enjoy the fireworks and live music, indulge in divine dishes and perhaps even win a great prize in the raffles, this event promises to be spectacular!

January in Grand Cayman is a scuba diver’s delight! Each year the International Scuba Diver’s Hall of Fame hosts a dinner and induction ceremony for new honorees in the field of scuba. People inducted into the hall of fame are the movers and shakers in the dive world, educators, photographers, researchers, explorers and more. The event kicks off on Friday January 29th with the International Underwater Film Festival, featuring some of the finest underwater photography from around the world. Saturday January 30th the newest hall of fame members will be inducted and honored with a dinner and ceremony. This year’s inductees include Dr. Eugenie Clark (also known as “the shark lady”), Wyland, Nick Icorn and Francis Toribiong, each having dedicated their lives to the field of scuba and marine life. We at Dolphin Discovery congratulate the inductees and thank them for their continuing efforts in the scuba industry and the underwater world.
Dolphin Discovery is proud to be a part of a great community in Grand Cayman and we wish the best of luck and much success to the organizers of these fine events and thank them for their contributions to the island.
