Comments Dive restrictions(100 ft, 60 min) strongly enforced even for advanced and experienced divers. Diving is withheld for minor infractions such as going 7 min past the 60 min restriction. They did not explain thoroughly where safety equipment, water and snacks are located. They spoke to us like children when restrictions where not upheld.
The accomodations however where good. Duplex cottages were kept immaculately clean. The cottages had 1 bedroom and futon in the living room, small kitchen with microwave and toaster but no stove. All cottages are on the beach. We were told that there is no crime on Little Cayman and we were able to leave rooms unlock and dive equipment outside overnight.
