Question Little Cayman Beach REsort vs Cayman Brac Beach Resort?

[PatW]

At Little Cayman there are very few dives where you can not do a safety stop at a coral head. If you follow the tour, on the Jackson Bight area, on the outer wall, you hit 60’ or as deep as you want. The inner wall is about 18’. The sheer wall section is about 17’ and dep straight down into the abyss. The western section is gradually sloping from safety stop level to deep. If it is rough on the northside, the southside is deeper - say 30’ to the wall at 60’. At any of the sites, you can go with your buddy and go as deep or shallow as you want. There is a restriction on how deep you can go. It is something like 120’.

Shallow as in the reef wall starts at about 18 to 20 feet. Makes safety stop amazing. After you roll over the wall it’s about 6,000 feet down so your range is 18 ft to 6,000.

If you wanted you could dive entire dive at 20 ft depth with some of the best fish and coral life in the Caribbean.

The deeper you go, the less marine life you see.

Two years later, I have a question!! When you say the dive sites on Little Cayman are shallow, how deep is shallow to you? I like shallow dives as well!! Thank you!

I'll be honest, the diving in all 3 of the Caymans I find almost as boring as I do the local ski lake. If I ever decide to go back there, it will be on the Aggressor so I can dive all 3. I'd never plan another trip to Brac.

50-80ft. But you’re on Bloody Bay wall (which is the whole point of going there), so if you want to go to 120 ft or 1,200 ft, go for it!

Oh, I won't want to do that!! LOL!!! Thank you!

There are a number of sites on the Bloody Bay Wall at LC where the mooring pin is in 15-20' of water and places where the top of the wall is 20-25'. On those sites, there is plenty to see anywhere from 15-110'. On the south side of LC, the sites are more in the 40-90' range.

I believe the CITA Water Sports Operators Association requires the limit for recreational dives to be 130' for single dives or 100' for repetitive dives for their members.

They have a sale going on right now for a week where you split between the 2 resorts with boat xfer...

 

[scubadada]

I would not opt for the disruption in one week, I would spend the week at one, two weeks would be different. Each of the resorts already offers a day of diving at the other, conditions allowing. I have spent 2 weeks at LCBR and a week at CBBR in addition to a week on the Cayman Aggressor.
