Comments Best diving in the Caribbean. Fish extremely approachable. Many large Nassau groupers. Saw a reef shark on one dive. Saw eagle ray and 2 yellow rays. Turtles on every dive an seen surface-breathing from the boat. Coral in very good condition (as good as it gets in the Caribbean).
Dive staff extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Hotel accomodations good; rooms require updating (and plans are underway for this), but are otherwise comfortable. Spa OK.
Meals are a treat- food not gourmet-quality, but very good and tasty. Be prepared to put on some weight and add some lead to your BC.
Only downside is transportation to get to Little Cayman. Small commuter plane with limited baggage allowance. Several bags had to be sent the day before to Grand Cayman to guarantee arrival.
