Comments	This was our fourth trip to Pirates Point in Little Cayman, and we are already booked for April 2014. We love it there, the dive operation is first rate, the gourmet food is absolutely delicious and plentiful and we meet other divers each trip with common interests and diving styles. My husband and I are no longer "Rambo" divers, so the 2-a-day dive profile fits us well. The resort offers two long morning dives, all divers use computers, so there is no rush or time limit to complete the dive, we usually run out of air time. The coral reefs are really great and the fish life and turtles are plentiful. Lionfish are becoming less prolific, so the juvenile reef fish population is replenishing and returning in force to the reefs. We saw more juveys this trip than prior trips. The Caymans are known for turtles, and we see them on most every dive. All the dive masters are experts at little critter hunting, jawfish, pipefish, blennies, arrowcrab, peppermint shrimps, an occasional sea horse, you name it. We are big fans of the owner, Gladys Howard, and the rest of the staff, all of whom have been there for years. Very professional operation and they make you feel at home and very glad to be there. There are only 10 rooms at the resort so the maximum number of divers you would encounter is 20. It's just a perfect little jewel of a resort and dive operation.
