Comments 2nd trip to Cayman Brac. Dive staff was in a turmoil with several guides quitting before we arrived. There were rumors that the guides were going to another dive op on the island to work. The guides did well considering there was only 1 guide for 20 or more divers in the water. 2 helpers on the boat and they did work hard. It does not make for a relaxing vacation when the staff is rushed. The reefs are just OK, not colorful, and fish life is limited. Not as many large groupers as last trip.

The resort is very clean, food staff is great, food is plentiful and very good. Wear something warm if you sit inside the dining room as their air conditioning is very cold. You can also sit outdoors in a screened room but it's not as upscale as inside.
