Scuba Forum / Scuba Locations / March 2008Little Cayman, March, 2008
I just spent 10 days at the Southern Cross Club (SCC) in Little Cayman. I was very happy with the accommodations, food, staff and diving operations at the SCC. It was all top notch and would recommend it to anyone. I did 9 days of diving and got in 21 dives. Other than the first day, we were able to dive on the north side. In general we had between 4 and 12 divers, with an average of around 8. Once the staff observed that we were well qualified divers, they had no problems letting us do our own thing. Since I love to do photography, I was very happy to keep my distance from the group. I haven't shot a lot of video, but ended up shooting quite a bit with my Olympus C-8080 digital SLR in video mode. While it doesn't begin to match the quality of video shot via friends with HD video equipment, it's a wonderful compromise since I primarily want to shoot stills. You can view the results of the trip at: http://www.geoffschultz.org/Travel/2008/Cayman_Index.shtml -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org > http://www.geoffschultz.org/Travel/2008/Cayman_Index.shtml The pictures and video are good. Thank you very much. Geoff, you have created a terrific photo album. I felt as if i was on your boat with you. Even though i would have gotten sea sick(-:), i enjoyed seeing "off the beaten path" locales. Thanks for the ride!

Thank you very much. some one once described "the Southern Cross Club" as a Baptist camp for diving...nothing to do with religion, mind you...it was just that the place was so spare, or perhaps "basic" would be a better word... has the place changed any over the years?

I would say that anyone who describes the SCC that way hasn't been there in a very long time. From what I can tell, it's the most luxurious resort on the island.

Its not really all that of a long time, as SCC had four of their eleven buildings taken out by Ivan in 2004, so owner Peter Hillenbrand decided to upgrade them to be 'eco-friendly' during their rebuilding. This is the result of that rebuild. In looking at the new images, it appears that Peter has done a very nice job with their appearance. > From what I can tell, it's the most luxurious resort on > the island. See http://southerncrossclub.com/ Fresh paint and linens frequently go a long ways in terms of making a place look great. The real question is always how "liveable" the floorplan design is, particularly if one wants to forgo air- conditioning to enjoy sleeping under a tropical breeze at night. IIRC, the old design was single level, so this upstairs/downstairs design to the bungaloes is new. -hh -hh <recscuba_google@huntzinger.com> wrote in news:bacb14a2-29dc-4ce9-a3e4- 737e69454983@13g2000hsb.googlegroups.com: > (fixing the top posting for readabiliy): > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > design to the bungaloes is new. > -hh There are 3 dual-level units and the rest of them are bungalos. There are only a total of 11 rooms. We stayed in one of the dual level units and found it very accomidating with over 500 sq-ft of space, large patio, indoor/outdoor showers, lots of windows, and AC if you wanted it. -- Geoff www.GeoffSchultz.org Geoff, you have created a terrific photo album.
