Trip Report Little Cayman

[ClaireOKC]

We're headed there next week...I am sooooo ready and soooo excited...a couple of questions - why did you think the trip to Cayman Brac was worth it?....have you been to other places on Brac?....this is our first trip to Caymans and we're sorta spoiled and like great sites - Little Cayman just sounds so wonderful not sure we want to trek elsewhere. Why didn't anyone else do night dive?...not good site?...other reason?

Another one - did they have juice in the morning or do I need to bring some?

Thanks for answering the other questions.

You'll have a blast! I'm jealous as it'll be a while before I get back there.

Firstly, in my view Brac trip was worth it as I thoroughly enjoyed the wreck dive and there's nothing like that on Little Cayman. Having said that, if the wreck doesn't interest you, there's no reason to leave Little Cayman, the diving there is superb. I'd say the same about the Brac if you stay there, no need to leave as there's plenty of great diving to keep you interested.

As for night dive, I'm generally a big fan, love night dives but a couple of our guys who'd been to this resort before said it wasn't that great. They basically just take you outside the cut in the reef in front of the resort and only then if there are enough people to make it worthwhile. A minor factor was that one of our weight saving options was to leave the big lights (and their batteries) at home. Could have still done the night dive but based on our friend's view, we just weren't that enthusiastic.

Juice in the morning at breakfast, but not on the boat, just water. We took water bottles and a couple of sachets of the Crystal Light stuff, but you could fill a bottle with juice at breakfast and take that with you.

Forgot to mention the video, sorry. As with most resorts, their resident videographer comes on one morning session and films everyone, the boat, the crew and pops up in front of you during the dives. He did a good job, the video was well made and fun. However, there was a little too much footage of us and not enough of the underwater critters for my personal taste but others may feel differently. The charge was $50 and that was sufficient for me not to buy one. Some of our group did, but I think if they'd charged something in the $25 to $35 range, they'd have sold one to every diver or couple on the boat. Hey, just my view.

I'll try to figure out how to post some photos in the next day or two.

Shine, I took the liberty of picking out my two favorite photos you shot and edited them into your post.

If you go to your album, select the pic you like, and near the file sharing code is a little icon with a paper clip chain link thing in it. I just copied the url and pasted it in.

Cool, thanks, I'll know that for next time.
