Little Cayman Island Photos
We have finally posted our photos of Little Cayman Island! We still cannot believe the visibility there and marvel at it each time we look at a photo. To view photos, hover over “Photos”, in the main menu bar, until … Continue reading
Little Cayman Notes
There are only 150 permanent residents on Little Cayman. As E, one of our dive masters, says “Everyone knows everyone”. During the stormy months of mid August to October, many of these residents choose to go off island. The supply … Continue reading

Diving in an Aquarium
Diving here is not very challenging, as if we are in an aquarium. There is no current, no surge, we don’t go deep, and the visibility is forever. The fish seem not bothered by us, we can get right in … Continue reading
