DEMA special = 5 free afternoon dives
Price is based on a $100 repeat customer discount
USA divers are returning to Little Cayman in July of 2024. And why not—it’s a relaxing week at the deluxe, full-service resort on Little Cayman Island — one of the world’s best diving locations and within a few hours flight from Florida. It is rated as the number one destination in the Caribbean for wall diving, number two for favorite reef diving, the sea life and underwater photography. The dive sites, water temps and visibility are outstanding. For those of you who have not experienced the diving at Little Cayman, it ’s everything you can dream about: dramatic vistas, amazing photo opportunities/views, wildlife that must be seen to be believed, especially the very tame and friendly grouper.
Divers don ’t have to lug gear every day from their rooms or even onto the boat. Your gear will be collected once you arrive and stored at the shop next to the dock. You set up your gear the first day on the boat and after that, the Reef Diver crew set up your gear and change your tanks for you. You need only to stroll down the dock, jump on a boat (the large, comfortable, covered boats) and go diving. The boats are 42 to 46 ft long and 16 ft. wide and have freshwater showers and restrooms. Rinse tanks and a drying room are on the dock for mask, fins and wet suits.
Marie York, a USA club member since 1978 and former club president (LCBR2024@usadiveclub.org) will be your trip leader. The journey starts at Miami airport, flying Cayman Airways international economy class to Cayman Brac, then an hour’s transfer by boat to Little Cayman.
Check https://www.caymanairways.com/baggage-policy for baggage fees.
Once there, we dive, eat, relax, and just generally have a fantastic time for the whole week! All the diving will be at Little Cayman. There is a pool, Wi-Fi, beach chairs and hammocks, and you can rent kayaks, sailboats, and paddle boards as well. Meals are included and are served at the Little Cayman Beach Resort.
Five afternoon dives are included (DEMA special). Nitrox upgrade is $120 for 12 morning boat dives or $170 for 17 morning and afternoon dives. (Prepay and get discounts)
It is imperative that you let your trip leader know if you are using the group Cayman Airways tickets or scheduling your own flights, which would likely be through Grand Cayman and transfer on a small plane to Little Cayman. (There were not enough seats available for the group booking.) Return flight timing is based upon Nitrox usage standards, so if you are NOT diving on Nitrox, let your trip lead know ASAP.
