Comments First time on Little Cayman and was really please with the diving and resort. Dive operation was first class and all dives were done on Bloody Bay Wall or in vicinity of it. Saw more marine life during the 7 days of diving than at other dive locations. Hammerhead Shark was inside the reef near the cut for the boats to go in and out plus nurse sharks slept under the docked fishing boat some nights. Food was great and rooms were very clean and nice since being refurbished in 2008. Wife does not dive but enjoyed the beach and just relaxing. Not much to do on island but did take one day and drove around the island and saw the iquanas and visited the one grocery store that has a variety of everything you might need. The food was very good and deserts to die for. Dive shop was a great help as my computer would not work and loaned me one for the whole time free of charge. Some of the divers luggage containing dive gear did not show up until later and the dive shop loaned them gear to use until theirs arrived. Very relaxed, laid back safe island to visit.
Cayman Airways Express did a great job of getting us too the island as
we missed our original flight due to problems with American Airlines in the United States and when we got to Grand Cayman Cayman Airways got us on the next flight to Little Cayman but luggage came later.
We will definitely be returning again in the future.
