    Hi divesergeant, the food and bar and pool, staff etc at LCBR are all great. no complaints about anything. I recommend LCBR and I would go back in a heartbeat.

    Denied to dive for 48 hours

    That part made me smile, but I think the Gekko was telling me I should go up and do a deco stop with a 10' ceiling, but I must have been ascending too quickly for its algo, because it also gave me a down arrow (to slow down really, not descend...so I misspoke before). By no means do I...

    Lionfish

    I heard GC is trying to teach grouper to eat lionfish. Dunno if I stated that quite right, but that is what I heard. Can we train grouper to eat our politicians?

    Divers Down watch out!

    Congrats! You got what I call the Grand Cayman Experience! (just kidding...it sucks, I know. I won't be going there again under circumstances like yours. If you speak to enough people, you will hear that diving on GC can be very good, but you need to put in more effort and time to get to...

    LCBR trip report March 21--28/2009

    Little Cayman Beach Resort Dive Report for Week of 3/21/9 to 3/28/9 I checked one bag that was under the 50 lb limit for both Delta and Cayman Air. My carry-on bag weighed less than 20 lbs and held my mask, wrist computer, regulator. If your bags weigh more than this, you are taking too much...

    Anyone been to Little Cayman recently?

    Personally, and this seemed to apply to quite a few others down there too...you will only have energy to spend just so much time at the bar. And if your head is still swimming from the boat rides, you won't be reading too much at night either. Playing a DVD can be a nice mindless way of...

    Denied to dive for 48 hours

    I had a similar experience with my new Suunto Gekko. It was my last dive of the week, and I felt I was pushing the limits of this conservative computer as I began the ascending portion of the dive. At one point it was telling me I should both descend... and ascend to do a deco stop! Anyway...

    Tobago, diving, crime

    crime happens most places. understand that in less-developed countries/areas you do stick out as a rich American tourist, and behave accordingly. I have lived and travelled much of the world always bearing this in mind. I dress way down, wear no watch, carry little $, etc whenever possible...

    ok, just got back from Little Cayman, so I would slide that right onto the list: Little Cayman Yucatan Cenote (do Cozumel while you are there) Grand Turk (do the conch ceviche Salt Cay snorkel trip while there) Bonaire Roatan That's my list, I am sticking to it, final answer. :-)

    Anyone been to Little Cayman recently?

    The rooms are gorgeous, just having been renovated. And they all include new flat screen tv's with dvd player too. BUT, they get zero tv reception as of last week. Therefore, TAKE a handful of DVD's down there with you to play and share with others while there. According to the front desk...

    What fins for snorkelling?

    yeah Seafan, get these, as F106A says. As long as you want full foot fins, which I assume you do. If I needed a new pair today, these are what I would get. Oceanic Caribe X Full Foot Fins

    What fins for snorkelling?

    Yep, good pic, Slonda. Those are pretty much exactly what I have, except mine are black rubber. I have just used regular white ankle high athletic socks in them, that works fine. Mostly I go barefoot, however.

    What fins for snorkelling?

    I have been diving the last 15 yrs with nice comfy soft black rubber full foot duck fins in all conditions. They are definitely not as powerful as the longer plastic fins, but I love them and stick with them. 100+ dives. If I knew I were going to face REALLY STRONG currents for extended...

    Survey, rank the 5 best dive spots in Caribbean

    oops, I see now you only want Carib spots. Then delete Galapagos, and slide Belize onto the list. I haven't been to Little Cayman yet, it should be noted.

    What did you buy that you regret?

    My heavy bcd. Since I live in boston, and try to do all of my diving in warmer waters to the waaaay south, a much better choice would be a lightweight travel bcd, or perhaps backplate/wings.

    We Need Galapagos Opinions

    My wife is a skinny coldy. She wore a new 5/3 full suit, no hood. She said she was comfy the whole time diving the southern FRIKKN COLD islands. I mean 52 degrees F at depth.

    Night dive tips

    My first night dive was into nothing but dark water off a boat in Oz. That was a bit freaky and disorienting, since you can't see which way is up etc. Just continue to breathe and learn to feel how you are positioned in the water. Easier night dives are shallower and have obvious structures...
