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.
