This is a fairly large operation that runs at last two boats a day, but neither boat feels overly cramped when full. Given the size of the operation, there are periodic organizational glitches as far as hotel pick-ups, equipment rental, etc., but each time the dive staff corrected the glitch for the divers very quickly. The dive instructors and dive masters are generally young Americans or Brits in the Caymans on a fairly short work permit, so the level of enthusiasm is very high. They run a very entertaining night dive right off Seven Mile Beach two or three times a week. Locan Cayman resident-divers whom I spoke to on the boat were very positive toward the operation, but then they were positive about the overall quality of dive operations on the island. We stayed at the London House, a very comfortable condo complex on a non-commercial stretch of Seven Mile Beach. A rental car is essential while staying in this area. |
