Described as full of "charming, independent and deeply warm people" in Lonely Planet, the Cayman Islands is a scuba-diving paradise due to its perch on the Cayman Trench, the deepest part of the Caribbean Sea. Snorkellers flock to the surrounding coral reefs. A British Overseas Territory, the 3-island nation was named best destination by readers of Caribbean Travel + Life magazine earlier this year.
