Comments We had been to Little Cayman Beach Resort WAY back in 1996, and loved the diving there. We decided to try their sister resort on Cayman Brac. Other than delay after delay on Cayman Airways from Grand Cayman to Cayman Brac, the entire vacation was perfect and very relaxing. The resort itself is spread out, which allowed for great breezes every day - it never got too hot during the day. And there were no issues with bug bites. The dive boats were spacious and never so packed that it was uncomfortable. Reef Divers prides itself on "valet diving", which totally spoils you. Every day we saw turtles, either on the surface, or during our dives. We opted to just do the two morning dive package and relax in the afternoon instead of doing three dives a day. The walls that we dove were lush and full of fish and other critters. The shallower dives were loaded with hard and soft corals and lots of fish. And very happy to say that after 40 years of diving, I FINALLY saw my first hammerhead on a dive trip over to Little Cayman. Bottom line, we both highly recommend both Cayman Brac Reef Resort and Reef Divers. Money well spent (be sure to check out their website for available packages.) As far as the resort goes, the food was always awesome. Breakfast and dinner buffets in the main dining room always had numerous choices, and the quality was excellent. We typically ate lunch at the bar - I highly recommend the curry with either chicken or shrimp. The bartenders were awesome and knew us after day one.
