What to do in Cayman besides Drink?

So you have been on the island for 6 months or so, you have drunk and partied more in these months then you have your entire life. You have gained 10 pounds and are growing tired of not remembering your weekend nights. Now what do you do?

Almost every expat has experienced this. The island is small and social events are plenty, the drinking culture is excessive! Since most expats are 25-35 you basically party like it is 1999 but now you have a lot more money to spend and better clothes. Most expats survive these first few months to a year unscathed and get tired of the party scene (a few never get out or have to leave the island because of mistakes made when intoxicated, make note).

What can you do if you grow tired of partying?

Some popular choices for Cayman expats are

1. Work out. Gyms here are a dime a dozen. There are many marathons, triathlons, and swims to train for. Crossfit is also very popular. They have a few challenges through out the year to keep you engaged and it is a great way to meet a few like minded individuals (but stick with it for a couple of months to really get the feel). Quite a few people also go for the hot yoga at Bliss. Bliss also organizes off island yoga retreats.
   
   
   
2. Team sports! I am not one for team sports but if it is your thing there are tons to chose from. Gaelic football, volleyball, and  rugby to name a few.
   
3. Dinner Parties: A group of my friends started having themed food nights at their respective houses. We have all learned lots about different ethnic foods because of it, I once made traditional Scottish tablet. 
4. Diving: seeing as Cayman Islands is one of the best places in the Caribbean to dive. From shore dives over coral reefs to deep drop wall dives, the diving can be unbelievable with crystal clear visibility and many species of reef fish. As well as a few wrecks, like the Kittiwake, and for the really adventurous there is nite diving.
   
5. Fishing: Big game fishing is quite renowned here and it is worth getting in contact with the Cayman Islands Angling Club. There are a host of charters to choose from with very experienced captains but if you are the kind of person who likes to go it alone there are many opportunities to pursue the likes of fly fishing and even kayak fishing which is growing in popularity.
   
6. Water sports such as kayaking, paddle-boarding, kite surfing, windsurfing and surfing. I know quite a few people who have picked up some of these sports and it has grown into an obsession.
   
7. Travel. To be honest the island offers very limited entertainment for the non partyier so you might have to take trips.  Make sure you sign up for the Sir Turtle club with Cayman Airways. The points can add up pretty fast. With easy weekend trips to Honduras, Cuba and Miami.
8. Cooking and photography classes. Quite a few restaurants around the island offer cooking classes. Mostly you get to watch the chef make the food for you while you drink wine. Cathy Church's offers land and underwater photography classes.
