Hello! I just wet tested my first hot tub!!!

[Dee Dee]

I was afraid to do this and after much "complaining"  my husband and I actually wet tested the Artesian - "Emerald" and the " Grand Cayman".  Wow! what a difference.  I LOVED the Grand Cayman and its cheaper.  Granted it doesn't have the radio, but I can listen to a water proof radio.  I cannot add the over the shoulder thing in the Grand Cayman.  I really liked it.  It felt GREAT!!! It REALLY makes a difference to actually be in the tub and as much as I felt "embarrassed" to go in the hot tub.  I am SO glad I did!
You guys are great with all of your wonderful advice!  
Thank You!

Good for you.  You have to be in it to know if it's a good fit.

Congrats! Good luck shopping! What other brands do you plan to try? I agree with you how amazingly different one tub can feel compared to another- recently learned that myself. No substitute for a wet test!

Got yourself an Artesian Island Grand Cayman...huh?  Me too.

Why can't you get the "over the shoulder thing"?  I thought they come standard with one and there are some with two (52 & 62 jet models)

The Cayman does come with a radio ... at least it did in 2005. Personally I use a MP 3 player and water resistant head phones.
