Overall Rating

Cobalt coast resort was a clean, new, well run establishment. Food was
served restaurant style at tables and all the staff were accommodating and
very friendly. Rooms were spacious and clean, AC worked great. Dive Tech is
on the premises but owned separately. We hated Dive Tech. Most DM were
arrogant, rude and one was simply nasty. Several never glanced back at the
group after entering the water and regularly pointed nothing out. One
younger DM drank beer before we could take our gear off the van that
shuttles (5 minute ride) between the resort and dock (“have to replace bad
bubbles with good bubbles”). The DM would not touch your gear all week. I
mean, not even help you swing your gear bag onto the boat. A 20+ dive group
complained in the shop and the next day the DM helped with gear bags but
would not help divers who were not part of the group that had complained. 

The shop was disorganized. I booked my trip 6 months ahead but was put on
an afternoon dive the day before a morning flight. When I tried to change
it they blamed me for not solving this before arriving. There was mention
of a shuttle that would take divers to their sister shop for shore diving,
but when I asked they said to rent a car and myself. The dive shop does not
communicate well with the hotel either and we were double charged for a
dive trip. A few DM were competent and personable but the rest tainted the
whole experience. We could not wait for the week to end. Bottom Line: go to
cayman diving lodge instead.
