Comments Cayman Islands have recently dropped the Covid testing requirement, but one must upload vaccine records and complete a questionnaire to receive a travel document allowing entry. It was easy and quick for fully vaccinated travelers.

Little Cayman is still a gem, with very good protection of the environment.

Reef Divers valet diving is everything they promise by enthusiastic, knowledgeable divemasters. One can follow their tour or dive their own profile. The boats have first aid and oxygen on board, marine heads, and adequate shade. The reefs and marine life are in great shape, and I was amazed again by how unfazed many of the fish are by divers presence.

Little Cayman Beach Resort continues to be well maintained, and their food service is excellent. The outdoor bar area is a great social center when the afternoon dives are over.
