Comments	In March 2019 I spent 2 weeks diving in Grand Cayman with Indigo Divers, based in the West Bay area of the island, which is convenient to many of the reef diving sites on the island. Here is a summary: THE GOOD Indigo provides full service diving, you hand them your gear at the beginning of the trip and they takes care of it. They only take six divers in a 32 foot center console boat with 2 crew; seating for the divers in the bow, with the gear stowed aft. The diving was excellent, many great dive sites and a good dive guide to show us around. The guide was always laid back, allowing us to spread out for exploring and picture taking. Each day we met a 7:30 am, did a deep dive first (60 to 100 feet) and a shallower dive (<60) after a surface interval, when home baked snacks and fruit were served Most of the dive sites were less than 15 minutes from Indigo’s private dock. Indigo maintains a small office at the dock and has a private parking lot, which is nice because parking is limited at the public dock next door that most dive ops use. Prices are competitive considering the service you get, just realize everything is expensive in Cayman. Lots of turtles, larger than normal reef fish who seem to completely ignore divers. Reefs seem healthy with great visibility.. THE BAD The dive deck area is quite cramped, with only room for on diver at a time to gear up and enter the water, slow but with only 6 divers and calm conditions being on island time was no great imposition. One further quibble was that the boats engines are old (due to be replaced summer 2019) and thus we went at a slower pace, which meant at times we missed out on some prime dive sites. The Kittiwake wreck is extremely boring, no need to waste a dive on it.
