Rosie, I won't be diving tomorrow, but I will remember Michelle next week when I am diving. TrainerAW

Gorgeous photos - thanks for sharing. TrainerAW

Roatanman thanks for the links. I am going to AKR 4 weeks from today. That definitely helps with the packing (skin vs wetsuit)

Thanks for the report. I did my first dive on GCM, so I have a soft spot for the island. I know they were devastated by the hurricane, so it's good to know things are slowly getting back to normal.

Nice trip report. Thanks for the info. Sounds a little disappointing. I have been to Provo twice diving and the diving was great. We vis in the 90-100 ft both times. Last year actually saw a school of hammerheads that was a little intimidating. Twice have taken trips to West Caicos with...

I voted. I'll be at AKR in Roatan 5/21-28, so I will get to dive, ride horseback on a beach, dive, experience weightlessness, dive, swim with the dolphins, dive, and hopefully eat a cheeseburger in paradise. Guess I'll carry my Buffet CDs just in case I only get to hear "Cheeseburger in...

Carry on regs, computer and camera - check everything else and use the TSA approved locks. A couple of years ago had dive bag arrive at Little Cayman a day behind us, it was nice to be able to dive with my reg and computer and rent everything else.

My biggest surprise that I needed weights! I found I was extremely positively bouyant. The hardest part of getting certified was removing my weight belt. As soon as took it off my lower half would go straight over my head.

Diveme, You bring up an excellent point. Divers are very helpful folks, and we want to help everyone that asks for advice. The problem is that all this well-meaning advice can hinder rather than help sometimes. None of us can judge what the best BCD, regulator, etc is for another person...

We stayed at Southern Cross 3 years ago and it is definitely on the list to return. The food was great and the staff was absolutely the best. Diving? Well, I don't even know where to start. Unbelievable. There is a reason that the dive boats on Cayman Brac come to Little Cayman. Southern...

I confess, I haven't ever been diving here and I live here. I can suggest a LDS, Atlantic Pro-Dive. They are located in Jax Beach. I got my certification through them and use them for all equipment servicing. Family run shop and they are nice. They also run local dives through the summer...

I own an Oceanic Isla and love it. After a couple of years of diving in men's rentals I love the fit of the Isla. Follow the advice already given and try several different models to see what's most comfortable for you.

Congratulations! We stay at Southern Cross and love it. We rode bikes around the island and jumped in and swam around everywhere. We found good snorkelling off the beach near Bloody Bay Wall. The anchorages are close in and we snorkelled the exact same places we dove in the morning...

Andy, We are going to AKR in May and they have just completed a pool. TrainerAW

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am going to AKR in May. We agonized over CCV and AKR, actually booked CCV and then changed to AKR. Your report was excellent and made me glad that we made the change. We love to dive, but love to have something to do in the afternoons. I can't wait to...

Thanks for the info. I am going to AKR in May. We selected it for the same reason you did, some non-divers traveling with us. I am going to print out your dive reports because they were so good! Thanks again! TrainerAW

Gilligan - Gorgeous photos. Thanks for sharing!

Your story brought back fond memories. My grandfather was a shrimp fisherman in south Georgia. I had a lot of fun as a kid on his boat. I learned a lot about the water and learned to love the ocean from those trips. TrainerAW

I would suggest Little Cayman too. We went 2 years ago and stayed at Southern Cross Club. Really terrific dive ops, but they lost some of their cabins in the hurricane. I know they have reopened and heard they are rebuilding the lost cabins. The diving is unbelievable. I have been to Grand...

Thanks Roatan Man! I had a bag similar to this that we loved. We packed 2 BCs, 2 Wetsuits, 2 sets of fins, 2 masks (in hard cases), and 2 mesh bags (for the boats) for many trips. We did have to pay overweight charges once going to Little Cayman, but it was terrific. We carry our regulators...
