I just got back from a trip to Grand Cayman. My wife, son, and I went to Compass Point Condos and dove with Ocean Frontiers for 7 days of 2-tank dives. We had a great time, and thought that the diving was excellent. The dive operation was excellent. The dive guides were first-rate, and the dives were very easy. Most dives were a 5 or 10 minute boat ride from the dock to the dive site. The first dive was a deeper dive, roughly 100 feet maximum depth. Usually we would go through a cool swim through that would terminate at the wall. These sites were mostly on the southwest side of the island. The corals were good, as was the fish life. There were lionfish, and these are probably keeping the fish population lower than it would otherwise be. The second dives were shallower, typically to a maximum depth of 60 feet, and these would be through networks of swimthroughs. These were my favorite dives, and were made even better by many schools of silversides and tarpon. In general, the underwater topography was the star feature of most all of the dives. The swim throughs were just spectacular.
We ate breakfast and lunch at our condo (there is a Foster's market about a 10 minute drive north of the condos where you can stock up), and had dinners at nearby restaurants. Our favorite was Portofino, which was a 5 minute drive north of the condos.
Here are some pics of the underwater scenes.
