One hundred years ago, getting to the hospital, the market or just about anywhere else in Cayman likely would have required a catboat.

People watching the water on a bright sunny day late last month would have seen a sight that hearkened back to Cayman’s olden times – a quartet of the islands’ iconic blue and white catboats cutting through the waves as they sailed from West Bay to North Side in an annual race.

The boats are old, and so is the wisdom that went into making them.

Nominations are open to consider local honorees for this year’s International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame, managed by the Cayman Islands Department of Tourism.
