Comments This was my first trip with Nekton and I would go again in a HEARTBEAT!Staff was amazing and very nice to dive with. Dive briefings were thorough, and I particularly liked the fact that once the dive deck was open you could dive at your own leisure. No pressure OR having to go with a guide. Staff was available and willing to dive with you if your buddy wasn't interested in taking a dive with you. Boat was comfortable, and stable as advertised. We didn't have to go ashore midweek as refueling protocols had changed. In all a great value. Would not do this itinerary again however as the scenery in Grand Cayman wasn't as spectacular as I had hoped. Little Cayman and Brac were much better.

Subject Matter 4 stars Boat Facilities 3 stars
Overall rating for UWP's 4 stars Shore Facilities N/A
UW Photo Comments Facilities were fine with separate rinse tanks and a crew that was very accomodating. Was on a very small trip (less than 1/2 full) so there was plenty of space. Electrical outlets would have been an issue for charging batteries with a larger compliment of guests.
