#1 Overall Rating of Destination
#1 Diving for Advanced Divers
#1 Visibility
#1 Health and Marine Environment
#1 Wall Diving
#2 Marine Life
#2 Overall Rating of the Diving
#3 Underwater Photography

As promised while we are finalizing the full trip sign up thread by Feb 1... but we want to confirm the following:

Aug 11-18, 2012 are FIRM LOCKED IN DATES
Our pkg will include 6 days of diving with 5 days of 3 dives and 1 day of 2 dives or 17 dives total
Our pkg will include full breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and will begin with dinner on our day of arrival and end with breakfast on our day of departure
Our pkg will include 3 FREE House Alcoholic Beverages a night OR combo of Sodas and House Alcohol
Our pkg includes all taxes and transfers will include a FREE TRIP TO LITTLE CAYMAN & $ OFF & MORE...for early bookings!

IMPORTANT TRIP UPDATE:

1. Our pkg has unlimited shorediving INCLUDED using air tanks!
2. However the shorediving in front of the hotel is limited so most people rent cars to drive to other sites on the island. You can rent a car from the hotel when on island for as little as one day for approx $60 a day. If people want to do this they can use the private forums we'll set up for this trip to coordinate all who are interested in doing this. We'll also capture in the trip sign up those interested.
3. Night Dives are available via boat only as the house reef is too shallow. We need 8 divers minimum and the price is $65 a person. We'll have a sign up sheet for those who are interested.


Boat Details:

  • Fast, smooth boat rides to the best dive sites.
  • Comfortable, bench seats, convenient gear storage area and tank racks.
  • Plenty of shade with a sunning area on the forward deck.
  • Sheltered cabin area providing protection from the wind and spray.
  • Easy giant stride entry from the large stern dive platform.
  • Easy exit from the water using dive ladders and handrails.
  • Padded camera table in the cabin area to protect underwater photo gear.
  • Freshwater shower.
  • Ice water, fruit and snacks.
  • Restroom facilities on board.
  • A VHF ship-to-shore radio, an emergency oxygen kit, AED Kits, First aid equipment and United States Coast Guard approved boat safety equipment.
  • A hanging regulator line or “hookah” and a surface current line are provided on dives. Dive tables are also on board each boat for non-computer diving.

Little Cayman and Cayman Brac Diving Highlights:

  • Site of one of the world’s best wreck dives, the Russian Missile Frigate #356, renamed the MV Capt. Keith Tibbetts.
  • Turtles, Spotted Eagle Rays, Reef Sharks, Nassau Groupers, Moray Eels, Stingrays, Horse-Eye Jacks, Barracuda, Flying Gurnards and more!
  • 100 different hard and soft corals and over 500 types of fish.
  • Unlimited visibility...usually 100 to 150 feet...with little or no current.
  • Warm water...Winter 78° to 80°, Summer 82° to 86°
  • Trips to Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park are offered during the week, but are weather dependent.
