We've done Bonaire and the Brac. We did a lot of boat diving on the Brac but still did some shore diving. I think that overall Bonaire has easier shore entry across the board but many Brac sites are very easy either from shore or with a ladder. The Brac also has a shore diving guide that is...

I can't imagine how devastating this has been to the island financially. It's been quite devastating to the health of many of my friends' families, a few of whom have lost their parents to the virus, so I'm grateful that the folks on the island likely haven't experienced that, as well. My...

I haven't stayed with either as we rent a condo in the West Bay area when we visit, but we dive with both DiveTech and OceanFrontiers every trip. We really enjoy shore diving so staying in the West Bay is a better fit for us. Quality of staff on the boats for me has been pretty comparable. I...

My husband just looked up flights for the fall earlier today. We can't wait to get back. And I will definitely spend way more money on restaurants/excursions than we usually do (we do a lot of shore diving and cooking at a rental condo).

This isn't one of the two you asked about for lodging but we stayed at Toyabali Resort which is right next to Liberty. Toyabali is very small (5 bungalows I believe) but incredibly beautiful and very quiet. I looked up Villa Markisa which is also very beautiful, but far more expensive, so if...

We used OF last week, as well. Very large boats that can be packed with people, but they have an orderly system for getting in the water and even when at capacity, it isn't crowded. They split larger groups into two so we didn't have 15 people following one guide. Great swim-throughs out that...

@mi000ke shore diving was back open yesterday at sunset house and lighthouse point! Macabuca was still closed. We didn’t expect it since it was the worst wind day all week so we actually went to the beach all morning then drove by DiveTech going to lunch and saw the flag up. It looks like the...

I’ll note I totally get that there aren’t going to be many, if any, PM and possibly no AM boats tomorrow. Safety first and even though people will be, they shouldn’t be mad about that. When I asked about PM boats, the person at the DiveTech shop told me we needed to have a foursome for a PM boat...

Tony - I asked DiveTech on Sunday and Monday about pm dives for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and/or Thursday and was told there were none except for Sunday which was Stingray City only. You guys were my first call because we usually dive with you. We took an AM boat instead, but we prefer PM dives...

We didn’t want to trek all the way out to the EE today so we just did a beach and pool day. We got on boats for Monday and Tuesday though since it doesn’t look like conditions will improve for shore diving. Living the Dream, DNS, and Cayman Turtle Divers all had boats going out this afternoon...

We got a dive in at Macabuca yesterday afternoon just before they pulled the ladder! Shore diving is all washed out today, even sunset house. Anyone know of ops with an afternoon boat? I figure it’s unlikely on a Sunday but thought I’d check.

@caydiver thanks for the suggestion - we are booked for a full day (both AM and PM 2-tanks) with OF next week and really looking forward to it! Hopefully its good diving for you guys going South today. I don't think we've done much if any South diving during our trips so maybe the weather...

Thanks @Divetech Cayman! We land tomorrow at noon and are trying to get an evening dive in at Macabuca while (if) we can and will likely stop in to try to dive Lighthouse Point on Sunday, then. Bummer about the rest of the week. Last time we visited in early January we were able to shore dive...

Thanks, cgills! We haven't done Sunset House for shore diving yet so we have that as a backup (hopefully) but sounds like its probably a good idea to for us to check on some boat availability, then.

Thanks! I've been checking the webcam (and check it often when I'm feeling particularly cold in the frigid Midwest winter) but was hoping from some below-the-surface recon if I can get it.

We are visiting next week and it looks like it has been/will continue to be a bit windy. Has anyone been shore diving at Turtle Reef or Lighthouse Point? Is it washed out? We planned to shore dive the majority of the week and now I'm wondering if we should line up spots on a boat for a couple of...

We had an oceanfront rental house so we stayed at our house quite a bit under the covered patio during the almost entire week of monsoon-like rains, but when the rain did let up a few times we enjoyed the hike up around the "lighthouse" as well as checking out a number of the caves. We tried to...

We stayed at La Cecile on our first night and Sunset Hill for our second. I liked the rooms more at Sunset Hill (a little more modern, cleaner) but the view at La Cecile was beautiful and having the pool was quite nice. I would stay at either again. Sunset Hill was around $40USD and La Cecile...

@drrich2 you're correct that Brac Scuba Shack is a standalone op. We don't like AI - we want more space for ourselves and are typically disappointed with AI food - so it was a welcome discovery for us when most people are CBBR loyalists. BSS did recommend a car rental place who gave us a...

BSS had the SITA shore guide for sale when we were there in May 2018 but had sold out of copies when we arrived.
