I am not a big fan of how the diving is handled at CBBR or at LCBR (personal preference) but I have stayed at both and they are top notch.
You will enjoy CBBR.

I enjoyed riding the bikes they have at CBBR, it was a great way to see some of the island
There's no charge to use the loaner bikes at the CBBR but if you are serious about biking there is a new bike shop on CB, see: Bike shop to open on Brac | Cayman Compass
The first time we borrowed a bike from the resort (just to peddle around a bit) I re-learned some very important lessons about enjoying the outdoors in the tropics - put on sunscreen, wear a hat, and bring a big bottle of water with you!
And if you decide to bike over to the small grocery/liquor stores that you see on the way from the airport, remember that all the stores are closed on Sundays - another lesson we learned the hard way!
Thanks, I really hope that you have good weather and a great trip!
I think that this would be a good time to re-post the link for the "Cayman Went" movie online. It is a sweet (but a bit corny) little film that was made on Brac and includes lots of images both above and below water. I tend to watch it when I am looking forward to visiting Cayman.

Note that the film was made in 2009 and the Tibbett's wreck (Russian Frigate) was intact back then, but that all changed after Hurricane Ivan in 2013.

Well you might have a few hours on your last day and to be honest, that is all you need for a quick tour of the island. I would be interested in a trip report when you get back as it is always educational to see a place thru another’s eyes. Also don’t forget to buy a chip.
Have fun and safe diving.

Christmas week was great, locals came by the resort so many times since on the holidays it was the only restaurant open. Talking to the dive crew it sounded like New Years week was going to be nice and busy.
In addition to the diving, I did the high bluff rappel and hike with Rock Iguanas and had a great time. After we hiked out, while waiting for the van to come pick us up, we stopped at a neighborhood party and enjoyed some good fruit punch and conversation with the locals. We were even invited to a party the next night. I didn't go as I had a early start to the airport the next morning, but it was great experiencing the island hospitality.
