FWIW, there aren't any lights on the landing strip in Little Cayman, meaning the last plane has to have left before dark.
Boat from Little Cayman to Brac?

Thanks. I think we'll just go conservative, and keep at least 18 hours surface interval, and keep fairly shallow profile for the last day.
This will be our first trip to the Caymans!
It is 7 mins at 1,000 feet from LCM to the Brac but you never know whether they may need to fly higher in the case of emergency.

The only boat option I am aware of is that LCBR makes a fuel run from LC to CB and back something like once a week or so using one of their boats. If you were diving both islands with Reef Divers, you MIGHT...and heavy emphasis on MIGHT be able to talk them into tagging along on that trip. However, it would be entirely dependent on the weather and you might not go if seas were too rough. You are better off just not diving the afternoon dives one day and flying over the next morning. If you finish you last dive at around noon, and fly out at around 8 the next morning, you have a 20 hour SI.

Agree with Aggie Diver. I have never known Reef Divers to take guests with them when they do the fuel run. You could spend a week on LC then fly to the Brac for another week of fantastic diving.

We once got a boat transfer over to the Brac from LCM with Shelby Scott (345 927 5413 or 948 0535). Think it was around CI$100 per person.
We did the Cayman Aggressor livaboard about 4 or 5 years ago. The weather was great and we mostly dived on Bloody Bay Wall off LC, but we did travel over to CB to dive the Tibbetts and a few other dives and we also did a couple of dives off of GC. It was a fantastic trip but it didn't include much time on land and only in GC. Happily we stayed a second week on GC.
Last year we went to Brac Reef Beach Resort for a week (it was fabulous!) and the dive shop took us over to LC and Bloody Bay Wall for one day of diving. We had time to CB on land on underwater but still have not set foot on LC. We keep getting close to it and we are going to have to spend some time on LC eventually!
We took the twin otters with Cayman Air from GC to CB and back.
In a couple of weeks we are going to take the same trip - GC for a week then CB for a week and hopefully a day trip over to LC. Beautiful islands and wonderful diving!
