Comments Nick and Pat of Red Baron are very nice persons and good divemasters. They worked hard to maximize our diving on a quick trip to G.C. The boat is smallish but comfortable for up to 6 divers. At 8 divers ( their max ) it would be a bit crowded. We would certainly dive with them again on a return to Grand Cayman.

Plantation Village was clean and bright with comfortable beds and easy walking to grocers and other stores. The beach though is virtually nonexistent even though it is "on" 7 Mile Beach. One must walk north a few hundred yard to get to good beach area.
