Comments This was our 4th trip to Little Cayman Beach Resort with our dive shop, Wateree Dive Center of Columbia, SC. The resort is excellent with great food and selection, and very nice rooms, quite comfortable. The boats are modern, swift, and take 15 min. or so to get to the Jackson and Bloody Bay Wall sections of the marine park. The dive operation is very professional, and allows you to dive your own profile, staying in CIWOA guidelines. The visibility was superb and there were plenty of turtles. I was also happy to see more groupers on this trip than the last time we were here in 2001. I really have no complaints, only compliments to give to the resort and dive staffs of this resort. The Nitrox compressor went down, so we could only use Nitrox 3 days. The dive staff is outstanding.Flying Cayman Airlines by twin otter is always an adventure, but no problems except sweating out making the connection for a 1:45 pm flight to Charlotte. I think this is an outstanding operation and look forward to returning.
