Comments	The resort has very nice accommodations e.g. apartments with kitchen, living room, washer drier, bedroom(s) and bathroom(s). Rental car is included. We fixed breakfast and lunch and went out for dinner. On site dining at Eagle Ray is excellent. My husband I are not exactly typical divers. We have been diving since the mid seventies which means we are senior divers. All the staff was cheerful and experienced. The boats are well equipped, comfortable, etc. I would recommend nitrox since most mooring sites are at about 40' and nitrox gives you more time to explore around the boat at the end of the dive. Visibility was quite good and the corals were healthy. The fish weren't as numerous as 30 years ago but that is probably true world wide. We did see turtle, reef sharks, nurse shark, and the usual reef fish. No large grouper but I don't know where there are any anymore. The Caymans are making a concerted effort to hunt lion fish. The best bet is to introduce lion fish to everyone's menu. Lion fish tacos at Eagle Ray and Tukka's are outstanding. We enjoyed the trip so much we are returning in November to celebrate my husband's 82nd birthday.
