Digital DiveIn 09
Hey Digital Divers, everybody had such a great time in Little Cayman last year (and in 2004) that we're going back... back to our roots... back to Little Cayman. As you may remember, the original Digital Dive In trips featured:
  • An affordable trip to an easily accessible location
  • Great diving (and plenty of it) in a laid-back tropical locale
  • Plenty of spaces so more Digital Divers could attend
  • Comfortable air conditioned rooms and great food
  • The opportunity to meet, dive with and learn from other Digital Diver members and the DDNet crew
  • Slide shows, critiquing, and technique sharing... the very best way to learn from your own work and the work of others
  • Nightly adult beverages in the 'Upstairs Bar' (We can only hope that Greg and Traci open the bar!)

So, June 2009 we're going back to Little Cayman Beach Resort in Little Cayman, BWI. You may remember Digital Dive In '04 when Hurricane Ivan interrupted our fun. It is still remembered fondly by those who attended. If you didn't make it last year, you can read all about it here. The trip started out as 'Ivan Who?' but took on a name of its own as the week progressed, to forever be known as 'I didn't do it unless you liked it!'

So, please join us June 6-13, 2009 at Little Cayman Beach Resort in Little Cayman, BWI seven nights, six days days of diving, fun, friends, group discussions, product demos and more!

The island itself - just 10 miles long and 1 mile wide - is blessed with 22 miles of spectacular coastline and, just offshore, incredible coral reefs teeming with over 150 kinds of coral and more than 500 species of fish.

Bloody Bay Wall, one of the most pristine underwater sites in the world, is part of a unique ocean reef system surrounding Little Cayman. Rated as the best diving in the Caribbean by National Geographic photographer David Doubilet and underwater cinematographer Stan Waterman, Bloody Bay Wall's natural beauty has been protected for future generations with its designation as a Marine Park.

Little Cayman won Rodale’s 2005 Reader’s Choice Awards for:
