Dedicated camera table away from dive deck.  I do not know if they still
offer E6.  Everyone seems to be digital now.

I have been to Grand Cayman twice before.  I may not go again (to Grand
Cayman), however, Little Cayman (Bloody Bay Wall) made it worth every
penny.  The Brac was nice.  I am going again next week.  Nitrox is
available for an extra fee, but, you must tell them you want Nitrox when
you make your reservation.  You are required to spend an afternoon on
Cayman Brac when the boat is refueled.  If you want to see the island stop
at the store and grab some food.  If all of the guests show up at the same
restaurant at the same time it will use up most of your time.  The locals
operate on island time, hurry is not in their vocabulary.  Both Nekton
boats make excellent diving platforms.  The crews on all three of my trips
so far have been excellent and very helpful.  Steel 95s are used on the
Rorqual.
