Conch Club divers is one of the best, if not the best dive operation I've
had the pleasure to dive with. Bill (owner), Tim, Wes (and
"half-staff" frequent-visitor-work-on-the-boat-while-he's-there 
crew member Paul) did all they could possibly do to make the diving
enjoyable. They made great effort to get to the best sites each day, gave
very good briefings, and made an effort to show us stuff underwater. But
they do not hover over you underwater. They watch out for the environment
and nicely indicated when we were getting too close to the corals and other
parts of the reef (I'm a photographer and realize that I sometimes am
touching something I don't realize I'm touching). The boat is roomy and
they usually don't have more than 14 or so divers, although the week we
were there were as many as 20 divers a few days. Conch Club condos are nice
and roomy and the food at Little Cayman Beach Resort is very good. I
consider Conch Club Divers the pinnacle of dive operations.
