islands in one vacation.
Brac Reef and its on-site dive shop, Reef Divers II, offer guests a choice of 120

hammock dive.”

trips to Bloody Bay Wall, breakfast and dinner each day, complimentary use of
bicycles and kayaks, tennis, round trip transfers, tax and service charges. The

Reef Divers II at Brac Reef Beach Resort is a team of international dive
professionals known for their outstanding experience, expertise in diving and
awarding-winning Rodale’s Scuba Diving records. The staff delivers impeccable
service that includes signature “valet diving.” Divers put their dive gear bags
outside their room on the first day, and from there it is set up on the boat where
it is ready for the week. Each night the gear is thoroughly rinsed for the guest’s
convenience.
“Reef Divers II offers PADI, NAUI and SSI training for all levels of diving,” said
Jason Belport, Reef Divers II Assistant Manager and US Coast Guard captain. “One of
our most popular courses is Nitrox.”
Other diving highlights at Brac Reef Beach Resort and Reef Divers II include: three
boat dives per day, two night dives weekly, unlimited use of tanks for shore dives
(with a buddy), the only full Nitrox station on the island and 80 degree water with
unlimited visibility.
“There is a tremendous diversity of life in the Sister Islands. The South Side
Walls have sheer faces that provide deep swim-throughs, while their shallow reef
counterparts are made mostly of boulder coral and elkhorn reefs. In contrast, the
North Wall is a slightly more colorful wall system providing more tube sponges and
overall color,” said Belport. “In amongst those areas there are a variety of
animals including: eagle rays, sting rays, turtles, angelfish, spiny lobsters,
anemones, spotted drums, morays and sharks. Futhermore, the wreck of the Cpt. Keith
Tibbetts, located on the North Side of the Brac, is more colorful than it ever has
been with lots of yellow tube sponges from bow to stern.”
With Cayman Brac and Little Cayman roughly five miles apart, about 30-45 minutes by
boat, Reef Divers gets guests in the water quickly with three custom-built 46-foot
and one 42-foot Newton dive boats. Reef Divers II covers all 26 miles of the Sister
Islands, diving the best sites in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.

Cayman Brac is a pristine island just 12 miles long with a rocky interior swooping
to a 140 foot limestone bluff on the eastern end, a delight to rock climbers and
naturalists alike. Home to the endangered Brac Parrot (and not a single traffic
light), it is a stop over for almost 200 migrating birds. There are about 200 caves
tucked into the landscape for curious visitors of all abilities to explore, which
locals take shelter in during hurricanes, even during the most recent, Hurricane
Ivan.
Brac Reef Beach Resort is a charming, family-owned getaway located on four and a
half acres of milky white beachfront. It is only a 30-45 minute boat ride away from
Rodale’s 2005 Readers’ Choice Awards for the Caribbean’s: #1 Top Wall Diving, #1
Healthiest Marine Environment, #3 Best Destination for Underwater Photography and #2
Best Destination for Advanced Diving.
While diving is a specialty, Brac Reef caters to divers and non-divers alike,
welcoming families, small conferences, wedding and honeymoon guests. The
award-winning on-site dive shop, Reef Divers II, and the award-winning Jamaican
chefs illustrate Brac Reef’s commitment to excellence. The resort offers visitors the only opportunities on the island to pamper themselves at Tropical Touch Day Spa,
to log on through Cyber Beach internet access and to work out at Island Shapes
Fitness Center.
Guests can also indulge in an outdoor massage under the shade of Brac Reef’s
two-story pier or lounge in a hammock hut along the beach. Snorkeling, kayaking,
fishing, tennis, beach volleyball, hiking and biking are also options.
The Tibbetts family, one of the original families who settled the island in the
1830s, owns Brac Reef Beach Resort. Born and raised on the island, Linton Tibbetts,
or “Mr. T,” opened Brac Reef in the early 1980s to help stimulate the island’s
economy. “Dad just has a heart for the islands, and I think he’s instilled in all
of us a passion for this place and our heritage,” said Mary Brandes, Mr.T’s daughter
and managing director of Brac Reef.
