1) Unless you hire a private charter, most group charter sails will have Sting Ray City (the Sand Bar or Dive/Snorkel Site locations) as their primary destination and then a simple snorkel stop.

For charters, some of the usual itineraries also include a stop at Rum Point or Kaibo (beach/lunch), Star Fish Beach, and Fisherman's Rock (snorkeling).

Red Sail (catamarans) and the Jolly Roger (faux pirate ship) are two of the more popular sunset sails.

2) A plethora of dive ops to accommodate any preference. Check out reviews on TripAdvisor and inquire about specifics on Scuba Board's Cayman forum. Usually easiest to use the house dive op for your accommodation.

3) Don't golf, but the course is supposedly so-so.

4) George Town is the center of shopping and the the new "town centre" concept of Camana Bay is skewed a bit higher end. There is a small local craftsman market that sets up near the cruise port on days when ships are in. Also a local farmers market with some crafts at Camana Bay on Wednesday afternoons. Pure Art, Doc Carey's, Glass Blowing Factory, among others, are all good spots to shop for local products.

Snorkel air just tastes better than canned air...
