Comments Hotel is great, food is great.

Dive shop: Shore diving 20usd per tank, that is poor.
They charge for weights for each day of diving. We stayed 2 weeks, cost us enough to have bought our own weights, That is poor.
Dive shop now has wheeled carts to carry your tanks and gear to waters edge, that is very good.

Diving: Water went from 88f to 87f while we were there. All of the hard
coral on inner reef has white tops, it looks very bad. Vis was
very poor less than 50ft most days (If shore diving). This is the worst I have ever seen Cayman water, in diving there for 40 years.
Most of the larger fish have gone to deeper cooler water, Most of the Tarpon have gone to 60ft or below. We saw only a few Reef Chickens (Lion fish) at 60ft or above. We did not do any deep dives this trip.
