About this trip

Join Blue Planet on our first trip to Little Cayman! Dive the iconic Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park and enjoy warm tropical waters and lush coral reefs teeming with marine life.  Be spoiled by Reef Divers’ personalized valet services so you can enjoy underwater experiences at your own pace. With up to 17 dives in one week, an on-site spa and plenty topside to keep you occupied, this is your perfect summer dive getaway!


Little Cayman

Located about 80 miles northeast of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman is the smallest of the three Cayman islands—about 10 square miles and the highest point is only 40 feet in elevation. The island has lagoons, secluded beaches, salt ponds, undeveloped shorelines and areas of dense vegetation that are home to land, sea and air creatures waiting to be discovered. The island’s 150 residents (when everyone’s home) happily welcome you to their serene and safe island. 


The Diving


Minimum dive certification/experience:  Perfect for beginners and experienced divers. A great spot to complete your Open Water Diver certification, Advanced Open Water Diver and more. 


With sheer underwater cliffs that plummet to unseen depths, generations of ocean divers have made Little Cayman Beach Resort a leading Caribbean diving destination. From healthy reefs to the iconic Bloody Bay Wall, enjoy little to no current, unlimited visibility, jaw dropping swim throughs and plentiful marine life. Whether you go deep or stay shallow, diving Little Cayman Island is a bucket list experience. Little Cayman is also a fantastic spot for underwater photographers!


Little Cayman Beach Resort

Little Cayman Beach Resort is an intimate, oceanfront resort with only 40 rooms. The friendly staff immediately make you feel at home as you settle into a casual lifestyle with a relaxed atmosphere, great diving, and dining on sumptuous Caribbean-inspired meals in the dining room or al fresco on the screened porch.


The Little Cayman Beach resort considers themselves to be a “Small Resort with Big Resort Guest Amenities”. These amenities include a waterfront Reef Divers shop, pool and hot tub, beach with lounge chairs and hammocks, garden niches for intimate gatherings, dining room with screened patio, Beach Nuts Bar, Nature Spa, front desk offers bicycle rentals, island tours, assistance with car or scooter rentals and more. 


Travel

You should plan to fly through Grand Cayman (GCM) and on to Little Cayman (LYB) on Cayman Airways, arriving on July 1st. However please be sure you give yourself at least two hours for connections since you will likely have to go through Customs, pick up your bags and then check in again. Same thing when departing on July 8th; give yourself plenty of time to pick up your bags and then check in again with your international airline. Cayman Airways offers flights out of Miami, JFK and Tampa too. Please contact the shop before booking your flights.

Cold water wonder is an understatement! The diving was beautiful, the resort was scenic, and the food was amazing. I highly recommend getting dry suit certified to be able to do this trip. Heather and Jonas did a great job leading the trip, making sure everyone had a great time.

It was a great diving trip. I enjoyed the group. Anthony from Blue Planet was a great, and very knowledgeable organizer and trip lead. His experience and knowledge as a Dive Instructor also became very evident. I enjoyed the trip.

Diving in Grenada was an incredible experience - likely my favorite dives I've done. Anthony was an excellent trip organizer and guide, the dive shop staff was fantastic, and Grenada itself has a lot to offer including beautiful beaches, great food, rum distilleries, chocolate factories, and a ton of hiking opportunities. I'll definitely be returning if Blue Planet does another trip in the future.

Another stellar dive trip with Blue Planet, my seventh! The scenery was stunning and the diving was excellent! Kudos to Heather for wrangling 14 adult with aplomb, whilst running certification courses, adapting to schedule changes, and enjoying the whole experience with us at the same time. The boat and dive crew were fabulous, very down to earth and attentive. The resort staff and food were wonderful too, so were the resorts non-diving activities. Definitely a trip for the memory books. Can't wait for another BP dive trip in 2025!

This was our fourth trip with Blue Planet and it was another great one! They do such a wonderful job of handling all the trip logistics and picking out excellent dive shops. The local St. Lucian dive crew was one of the best we've had!

Blue planet is absolutely spectacular - I try to go on at least one trip a year with them! They've taught me everything I know about diving and show incredible care and dedication to their divers. The trips are absolutely incredible; I wish it was possible to rate them six stars instead of five! I cannot recommend them highly enough and intend to keep diving with them for years to come.
