Comments [None]Perfect resort for a trip with my son , D-in-law and Wife.Latter is a relatively new older diver with 50 plus dives now. She's always a little nervous on her first dives , but the crew was very sensitive and accomodating. There were different dive masters & crew most days.The dive guides were all very good; some a little more attentive than others.

Carribean reef sharks on almost every dive.The X-dive which was extra had 7 sharks at once. Angels, groupers , Box fish.
Surpringly few Morays and Lion fish. Most of the Lion fish were in the Tacos at the local restaurants.

The breakfast which came with the package was no great shakes , but the food at Eagle Rays otherwise was excellent.Great french fries.Nearby restaurants were great.Tukkas was terrific and the nightly frigate feeding was fun. The Sunday night beach fish fry was oustanding. Blue Rock had great Indian food. Mexican place across the street was nice.

The trip to Stingray City at 4 PM was a pleasant surprise.Nice trip through the Mangroves afterward. The Kaibo Yacht Club for a late lunch beforehand was also great..wonderful setting.

Hadn't been to Grand Cayman since 1979 , not counting Little Cayman just before the Pandemic in 2020. This wasn't available this trip , but the diving on the East End was on a par as far as I was concerned.Loved the walls here as well as the swim throughs.

Would definitely return to Compass Point.Never saw Georgetown or 7 mile beach and didn't miss it.

Shout out to Melissa at Reef and Rain Forest for the arrangements.
