Comments Dive briefs were thorough and if there was a specific critter you were looking for, they would point out where to go or actually take you there. Always a hot towel for after your shower. All nitrox fills were just about on the money at 32%.

Never a bad meal - food was plentiful. Crew was helpful, although some more than others.

Diving was great, we spent 4 days out in Little Cayman which is much better diving than Grand Cayman.

I'd definitely recommend doing the Caymans by liveaboard.

The only "bad" thing is the $100 fuel surcharge. They kind of sprung it on us while settling up our bill. I really feel this is something that they should publish on the website and make very clear at the time of the reservation, not having it show up as fine print somewhere.

UW Photo Comments Our trip was a Jim Church School of Underwater Digital photography week so cameras ruled this trip. Plenty of space on the camera table. Always fresh water to rinse. Crew actually rinsed the cameras for us as we showered and would put the camera back in our space on the table.
