Little Cayman is remote, with only one small grocery store. Everything is very expensive. Don't forget the essential things that you use on a daily basis. A supply boat comes weekly. Give us any special dietary needs in advance. Local businesses accept credit and debit cards and US Dollars, but there are no ATMs on Little Cayman.

Divers:

Wetsuit - not required but 2mm suit recommended for divers enrolled in winter courses
Scuba divers - Certification Card, BC, and regulator, otherwise you may rent them on Little Cayman. DO NOT BRING WEIGHTS. There is no charge for tanks, air fills or weight belts borrowed from the Little Cayman Research Center.
Recommended - Paul Humann Coral Reef Guidebooks (Reef Fish, Reef Corals and Reef Creatures). These books are available for purchase at the Little Cayman Research Center. As of October 2007, there is a boxed hardcover set of the three available from Amazon.com for about $75
