Comments	This was a REEF trip (yes, we're fish geeks). With 500 dives I was a comparative rookie and certainly so when it comes to fish ID. The Southern Cross group was very prepared to support our work and they were without exception a pleasure to dive with. Mike (head of dive operations) has assembled an excellent team. One of our guides/captains has been there 15 years, and Mike even longer. They know the island, the reefs, and where to go. It's largely valet diving. Your gear is picked up at your room on the first day and delivered to the boat where it's set up on either air or Nitrox according to your preference. Yes, they check your Nitrox cert when you check in (thank you for doing that). The gas has been checked (usually 32%) and marked on your tank so you can adjust your computer, but there's no issue if you want to do it yourself. Same with gear setup.

Dive Experience	251-500 dives
Where else diving	Cozumel, Cayman, FL peninsula, FL Keys, North Carolina, Bonaire, Roatan
Closest Airport	LYB	Getting There	DFW-GCM-LYB. I spent a few days in Grand Cayman before connecting to Little. Plan your connections! There is no interline agreement for Cayman Airways, so plan to collect your bags in Grand Cayman then check in for your flight to Little Cayman. The weight restrictions are a little different. Be prepared to do some repacking. But I had no issues going or coming. My return was Little to Brac to Grand to DFW.
