Comments Arrived on March 14, 2020. Got to dive on Sunday and Monday( 5 dives)morning and then dive operation was shut down because of Covid-19. It was announced at lunch that the Little Cayman Beach Resort would close on Thursday and the Grand Cayman Airport would close on Sunday. Dive leader Donna N. and travel agents at Caradonna Dive Travel did a fabulous job of rebooking the entire dive group on American Airlines free of charge so we could all get back to the U.S. on either Wednesday or Thursday. Also, Little Cayman Beach Resort issued vouchers to all guests for a free week to be used in the next 18 months.
What could have been a disastrous dive trip ended up about as well as anyone could expect with the coming novel coronavirus pandemic.
