Comments DIVING WITH INDIGO

I booked with Indigo Divers based on the Undercurrent reviews. Wise choice. Kate and Chris took good care of us during our six days of diving.

We paid a little more booking with Indigo, but it was worth it. I loved having only a few divers on the boat and the extra attention. Fresh fruit and cookies in between dives was a nice touch.

This was my third trip to Grand Cayman and it will not be my last. I love the healthy reefs and the beautiful walls. If my group is small enough, I will dive with Indigo again. They run a first class operation.

SHORE DIVING

Lighthouse Point (Dive Tech) and Turtle Reef at the Cracked Conch were easy shore dives.

PLANTANA CONDOS

We stayed here at the recommendation of Kate at Indigo Divers. I loved it. We booked a one bedroom ocean front. It was on the third floor (no elevator). We had two full baths, washer/dryer, full kitchen, dining room, living room, screened patio, daily maid service and free WiFi. The reservation staff and onsite staff were friendly and helfpul. Checkin/checkout was a breeze. We booked a special, five nights, two free.

While technically on 7 Mile Beach, Plantana is away from all the hustle and bustle. It was very quiet. Their private section of beach was wonderful.

Divers have so much stuff and I like having the extra room that a condo provides.
