Thought it kinda funny how Garmin has thier "office" located in the
Grand Cayman islands. Funny coiensidence hey?

But there are no maps for Grand Cayman. Does anyone know if there are
any for Garmin GPS units./

Open Street Maps http://www.openstreetmap.org/ has maps, but I don't
know if anyone has converted them to Garmin format.
http://www.gpsfiledepot.com/ does not appear to have done anything
with Grand Cayman, but there are tools now to create your own; see
that site or http://cgpsmapper.com/ for more info.

NOTE: I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE with the map creation part; I did download
a NC topo from gpsfiledepot and find it to work great with my Garmin
Quest.

as the saying goes, ymmv

In general:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download

In particular, this one should do:
http://planetosm.oxilion.nl/~lambertus/garmin/routable/02-12-2009/73240064.img

Download the file, rename it as gmapsupp.img, and put it into a
top-level folder named "Garmin" on a card which fits into your
Garmin GPS.
