Comments First, the hotel and dive shop team were excellent, the food was very good, the service excellent and friendly! The hotel grounds are very nice with a great pool and pool side bar. There are limited snorkeling or ocean swimming opportunities in front of the resort but great beach lounging options such as shaded hammocks and comfortable pool side lounge chairs.

The Island is charming, not much to do but it does have a few fun looking bars interesting art and restaurants along with a spectacular view from the east end Brac!

Diving: Reef divers makes it easy, setup your gear once and they manage it the rest of the week. No lugging gear from your seat to the back of the boat, simply bring your mask and fins, sit at one designated platforms on either side of the stern and they bring your BCD, slip on and step in. Same process coming out. It was nice for me this week as I had knee surgery 4 weeks earlier. Also, we had seasoned experienced group of mature divers so it was appreciated by all. All the team was helpful and our tour guides throughout the week Natalie and Adam were very good helping us find the little things that are easily missed. Also, made a day trip over to Bloody bay wall on Little Cayman, love the wall there, 15-20 ft at the top and shear walls from there.
The water was 87 degrees, much warmer than what I have ever experienced in the Cayman's and a very noticeable increase in coral bleaching and lack of bigger animals. Hopefully it will recover over the winter. Overall, great trip, great service but a little disappointed in the fish life but I'm thinking the warm waters had an impact on that.
