Little Cayman Photo Gallery

[bmorescuba]

I spent the first week of April 2017 at Little Cayman Beach Resort. I took a group of 20 people and everyone had a great time, including me. I won't get into too many details with the trip report - there are several LCBR trip reports here and they all pretty much concur. Since our group had an entire boat to ourselves, I thought that Reef Divers might be a little more liberal with the dive times and let us dive our tanks, but that was not the case. Dive 1: 50 mins; Dives 2 & 3: 60 mins. Ultimately, I understand why they run things like this and I appreciate their focus on safety.

We had really incredible visibility and water clarity, and I think that helped me capture some striking photos. Viz was at least 100' and some days it seemed more like 150'. I'll post a couple preview shots here, but the main gallery is here:

I think this gallery captures what defines dives on Little Cayman - walls, clear water, groupers, turtles, and beautiful reef scenes.

And we did just book a week at LCBR for August 26th- Hoping for similar viz

With the diving included here, the price was comparable to our recent visit to Occidental on COZ! But drinks are not included....that not good

Hope you enjoy it! We will be there a few weeks after you in mid September. You hit on something I always try to explain to people and seemingly rarely succeed at. When you take into account similar lodging and meal quality, diving, and all the other costs that go into staying at a non-inclusive property, LCBR is not that much more expensive, and when you can get deals like their Autumn Cascades package in the low season, they can even be cheaper. Everybody going to Coz compares the hotel cost alone or hotel and diving only to the total LCBR package price and says "that is soooo expensive!" But they fail to factor in the cost of taxis to restaurants, buying meals, tipping waiters, etc. that all add up over time. And there is no place with comparable peace and tranquility to LCBR within walking distance of town on Coz. When you factor in the comfort level on the boats, the freedom to dive your own dive instead of playing follow the leader, and not having to handle your gear if you don't want to, the whole package is just so much more relaxing to me than going to Coz.

Seems Reef Divers limit there dives to be rather shallow and limited? At an additional $12/Tank for Nitrox, I guess it isn't worth it even doing three dives a day?
