We dove for a week in Cayman Brac with a 17-dive package from Cayman Brac Beach Resort. See our resort review here Diving is on-site and run by Reef Divers. There are at least four boats but as the resort wasn’t full, we had two boats going out daily during our stay. Our boat, the […]
We had been to Grand Cayman a couple of times before but we were excited to have a chance to visit one of the two smaller sister islands, Cayman Brac. The Cayman Brac Beach Resort is owned and operated by the same owners as the Little Cayman Beach Resort.
This spectacular wreck is one of the main draws for diving in Cayman Brac. Sunk in 1996, the M/V Captain Keith Tibbetts is a Russian military frigate, destroyer #356, which has been turned into an artificial reef. After almost 30 years, it has a lot of growth on it and is nicely covered in sponges […]
We generally like to have a dry day before our flight out after a week of diving, and even though recommendations are for an 18-hour window after the last dive before flying, we like to do 24 hours for some extra margin. With a 7am flight, that meant sitting out the last day’s morning dives […]
We’re just back from a diving vacation in Grand Cayman. We couldn’t resist revisiting the island for some thrilling and exhilarating diving. Crystal-clear water, dramatic drop-off walls, colorful and healthy reefs, and the famous Kittiwake wreck—what more could we ask for?
Yes, you read that right, snorkeling! We can hardly believe it ourselves. Being avid divers, and getting to Grand Cayman through a series of unfortunate events we ended up on the Kittiwake without a scuba tank. Ok, not that snorkeling was bad; it was just so frustrating to see through that 100+ foot visibility all the […]
The Cayman Islands are located in the Caribbean Sea. Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac form the archipelago. The trio of islands is considered a British Overseas Territory and adopts similar regulations as found in the United Kingdom, including driving on the left side of the street, which might require some extra vigilance when […]
We’re just back from a 5-day trip to Grand Cayman where we stayed at the Compass Point Dive Resort on the East End of the island and dove with the resident dive operation, Ocean Frontiers. What a great experience! It was our first dive resort and we’re already booked to stay at another one in Roatan this […]
So while we are avid scuba divers, our typical vacation has been made up of a combination of scuba diving and sightseeing at our destination. We would normally stay at a traditional hotel and find a local dive shop that was close by. This model has worked well for us but has also been fraught […]
