Cayman Brac Travel Tips?

[Randall]

My wife and I are leaving for Brac Reef Resort this Saturday. I dive, she does not. We haven't been there in about 4 years and I've been reading the scare stories about baggage on the Island hoppers in the Caymans. Has anyone been there recently that could give us a few tips on luggage and Carry ons? I want to take my dive computer, Dive Camera (nothing fancy.....Cannon A95 with housing and a few rechargable batteries) and a travel sized CPAP machine in my carry on with my dive gear in a seperate bag (good dive bag with wheels) with a few clothes. Anyone know the rules on Cayman airlines? I've tried to find something online, but can't seem to connect.

Thanks in advance!!

My wife and I are at the resort right now. We got here on saturday with our group from jupiter, fl. We each had a carry on and each had a checked bag that weighed around 52 pounds. Others in our group had the weight up to 65 and it made it on the jumper. Beautiful weather so far. Crystal clear water.

FAA rules exclude medical equipment, such as CPAPs, from weight and carry-on restrictions. I don't know if Cayman has similar rules.

I emailed Cayman Airlines to ask them, but they never responded.

I suggest calling them. Please let us know what they say.

Thank you divetag and fisheater. I've talked with the Cayman Airlines a couple of times today. One carry on and one checked bag no more than 55 lbs is what they are saying.

I was told they do not participate in the FAA exemption on medical equipment such as CPAP devices and they do count as a carry-on bag and in the weight portion of baggage.

Oh well....thanks to you both for your help!!

Happy Diving to you both!
