Anyone know the current temperature at Little Cayman? I have to figure out which wetsuits to pack

Anyone have recent experience with this kit.? There are several long very technical old posts but what I want to know is whether the company fixed the initial glitches with this reg and how it breaths. Does it require tweaking or are factory settings adequate?

We just got back from a week of diving Little Cayman Beach Resort after a 3 year hiatus. There are numerous reports on this board so mine will just deal with what I observed as changes. Travel; From GC to LC was smooth with no changes in the Cayman Airways schedule from the time of booking...

Just got back from a week at Buddy dive and over all, I was disappointed. I have done many previous dive trips to Bonaire including a number at Buddy Dive and they have always been enjoyable. This year's trip left a few things to be desired. Check in: The room was not ready at 3 pm and when we...

Just back from a week at Cayman Brac Reef Resort after a 2 year hiatus. There were only 18 other divers there that week so my experience may not be completely representative in all areas. Many others have reviewed this dive lodge so will not do a full review but will concentrate on things that...

Anyone stayed out this way recently? If so, how was the trip? I've dived their op many times and always liked it but never stayed there. I'm thinking about going back to the Caymans March/April but with current airline scheduling delays and cancellations, the hop over to LC might be a stretch...

I was originally scheduled to go to Buddy Dive Sept 9-17 and unexpectedly, Air Canada announced last Thursday that they were cancelling my flight to Curacao from Toronto precluding getting to Bonaire.

I am starting to plan a week of diving on Bonaire in the spring and was thinking about Belmar as an alternative to our usual ( Buddy Dive ). Anyone have any experience with the house reef there as well as how often they offer boat dives from that location. Thanks for your help
