Have SB divers lost interest in GC?

@boulderjohn, I scanned back and can't figure out if you're at SCC or LCBR...?

Definitely sounds like LCBR.

LCBR

Thanks for the report. Sounds like that was a shıtty dive plan. I’ll be there in two weeks for my fourth trip. Is that site worth a request? Albeit with a DM who has some familiarity!

It was a beautiful site, but I think it is not often dived. I don't know why.

Thanks for the follow up. I have been to Little Cayman twice, 2010 and 2014. Perhaps my memory is faulty, but I do not remember dive groups of 18, maybe two groups. Regardless, we usually went our own way.

I hadn't been to the Caymans in over 20 years, and back when I was here before, I don't believe there were any DMs in the water.

Ron's Rocks is on the extreme west end of Little Cayman. Not commonly dived.

Worth it for a chance at a whale shark! That's my wife's ultimate scuba dream.

Makes sense. I have about 60 dives in LCBR and never heard of it. Now, thanks to BJ, every diver is going to be requesting it.

I believe the Nassau Grouper aggregation off Little Cayman occurs off the west end in the winter full moon, I think that diving during aggregation is limited.

What's worse is their procedures for getting off the boat to start the dive. Getting 18 divers into the water the way they do it takes about 7-8 minutes. I timed this by getting in before the process actually begins and diving below the boat before the rest are in. We are at minute 7-8 before the dive leader splashes and the dive begins.

The problem with striking out on our own is that the dive briefing includes really nice swim throughs, which we like.

Every time that I've been there, we request that they break the group into two. One DM per group. Much more civil and easier to organize.

We didn't have to ask in September - they just split into 2 groups.
