Join Smoky Mountain Divers on our next adventure to Little Cayman Beach Resort. We will be making 17 dives over our week stay at the Little Cayman Beach Resort. Immerse yourself in the experience that is Little Cayman Beach Resort—designed by divers to provide guests with the ultimate enjoyment of world-class diving that’s just minutes away. Bask in an intimate environment where our staff remember your name and preferences to provide you with personalized services, above and below the water.

Personalized Valet Service

Reef Divers is renowned for offering personalized valet diving, but what does that mean? Essentially, Reef Divers takes all the hard work out of scuba diving, from the heavy lifting and care of your boat gear, to switching out tanks and safely storing your gear at the end of the day. At our on-site dive shop, we also have separate rinse tanks for photo equipment and wetsuits and general dive gear, plus a drying room with hanging space for wetsuits and mesh bags so you don’t have to lug them back to your room.

No Tank Dancing

Reef Divers emphasizes safety first, followed by comfort. So, rather than having to perform an unbalanced “tank dance” to get from your seat to the rear of the boat with a 35-pound scuba tank on your back—we carry your gear for you and help you slip it on while you’re seated. Then it’s just one step into the Cayman Caribbean Sea, where abundant marine life awaits your arrival.

At the end of the dive, you hand up your fins and cameras and we help you ascend one of the ladders and remove your gear before you return to your seat. If you have physical limitations or special needs, you may choose to hand up all your gear before climbing the ladder.

Let's Go Diving

In general, at 7:45 AM we begin briefings for our morning 2-tank boat dives and at 1:45 PM for the afternoon 1-tank boat dives. Although most of our divers are guests staying at our resort on packages that include diving, if we have space we also sell individual dives a la carte on island.

For guests on dive packages, we try to take a morning two-tank dive and head over to explore Cayman Brac  – weather permitting. 

Night boat dives are also available 2 nights per week based on weather conditions and interest.

Find your own zen on what feels almost like your own private island

Little Cayman is located only 80 miles northeast of Grand Cayman, yet it feels worlds away. Nowhere in the Cayman Islands can you find a better dive destination that’s also a romantic getaway.

The island’s 150 residents (when everyone’s home) happily welcome you to their serene and safe island. Little Cayman Beach Resort’s Beach Nuts Bar is the island hot spot, especially on karaoke night. If you’re more into peace and quiet, then your idea of island Zen might be enjoying a drink with someone special in a secluded niche on the property or lying in hammock on the beach to count stars in the clear night sky.

You can leave your hurry behind, because you’ll be on Little Cayman Island time. In addition to world-class diving, you can rent a kayak and visit nearby Owen’s Island for some snorkeling; tour the Central Caribbean Marine Institute and learn how they’re studying and saving reefs; grab a bike and go exploring; or just read a book in the shade of the palm trees that surround our pool and beach.

History of the Cayman Islands

There is no record of pre-European settlement of the Cayman Islands.  The three small specks in the Caribbean remained unknown until the morning of May 10, 1503, when a sailor on Christopher Columbus’s fourth and final voyage to the new world spotted two low lying islands whose surrounding waters were teeming with sea turtles. He called them “Las Tortugas.”  The discoveries later renamed the Cayman Islands were a stopping point for the seafaring powers of Europe but were not settled until the 1700s.

Though settlement of Grand Cayman was underway by the 1730s, emigration to the Sister Islands did not begin until a full century later. Prior to settlement, the islands were known to, and used by turtle hunters and fishermen from Grand Cayman and Jamaica. Lured by available land and abundant fishing, early Sister Islanders came largely from a small handful of families, making the eighty-odd mile trip from Grand Cayman in open canoes.

England took formal control of the Cayman Islands as a result of the Treaty of Madrid in 1670.  The Islands were governed as part of the colony of Jamaica until 1962 when they became a separate Crown Colony and Jamaica became an independent commonwealth.   The Cayman Islands remain a Crown Colony to this day with the Governor appointed by the British Parliament.

Getting to Our Resort from the Airport

Flights to and from Little Cayman operate only during daylight hours. We have our own bus we use to transport you between the airport and our resort. Transfers are generally included as part of your inclusive accommodations/meals/dive package.

Although when we see and hear planes coming in for landings we head to the airport to meet you, knowing in advance when to expect you helps us arrange staff to get you checked in timely and to plan room cleaning to try to have your room ready for you when you arrive. So thanks for reconfirming your flight times with us when you make your final payment.
