Comments Both my husband and I felt like we were cattle. We were given a briefing on the boat. It felt like we were children being told the rules and if we broke them we would be punished. We were told what not to do, Not given any info on what to look for. The dive master just floated in the area where we were diving looking like a teacher who is bored and waiting for someone to do something wrong. The Dive master had very little involvement with the divers. We would not use the dive operation again. We pulled in the Grand Cayman with 2 other cruise shipps. The dive boats were broken into which cruise ships you were on. Our boat had 20 divers while the others had only a couple of diveres on them. It would have been better if they would have spilt the the divers evenly among the boats. We felt like they were there to get in and out of the way as fast as possible.
