We went to Cayman Brac last year but didn't stay at the resorts. We stayed at a condo and hired our own boat and DM - it was great! If you stay on the Brac you can go over to Little Cayman for some dives (weather permitting). Very laid back and relaxed. I will say that the dving around the Brac was very good and around Little Cayman even better. When we added up all our costs (food, lodging, boat, DM etc.) it was very close to what the resorts would have cost with much more flexibility. YOu don't say how many of you in your group but we had 4 people. Also, by having our own boat and DM we got very personalized service and much more time underwater. Our AVERAGE dive was 58 minutes with some lasting an hour and twenty minutes. We were all experienced divers with computers so the DM would let us play around near the boat toward the end of the dives and let us suck our tanks way down. Anyways, if you don't go to the Caymans, I've heard Bonaire is very nice (good beach dives etc.). I've been to Aruba and from what I've heard, I'd go to Bonaire before Aruba if I was heading in that direction.
