One of my favorites on that end is an Italian restaurant called Portofinos. The food is excellent, and I think it is slightly less expensive than most the nice restaurants on the island. Less expensive being relative since they all are pricey imo.

Hi All, Out of curiosity, I click on the Cayman Dive Lodge webite link every once in a while. The last time I did, a few days ago, it is all looking brand new and looks like they have plans to come back. However, I didn't see anything about if it is still Jim and Kim involved, or I had also...

We will be staying at Morritt's in February. We usually dive with Cayman Dive Lodge, but since the hurricane they have not been rebuilt yet. We've also dived with Ocean Frontiers, but they are booked the week we are there. And Tortuga will not have the docks (they don't think) and therefore may...

The Cayman Dive Lodge is a great place to dive. The divemasters are all fun and professional. They look for sites that have little or no current, and the DMs are in the water guiding you, so as new divers, you should have no trouble. One wall dive and one reef dive, usually with swimthroughs on...

Cayman Dive Lodge has two boats, and often take both of them out in the mornings to keep the groups smaller (usually 8-10 divers on boats that can handle 16). In addition, they put two DMs in the water, so if the group is a little bigger, they are still split up during the dive. They also throw...

East end is a great place for diving, but you will definitely want a car if you plan on seeing Georgetown or any other touristy locations. If you are going just for the diving, I would recommend Cayman Dive Lodge. They are all inclusive, the food and diving are great, and they truly do...

I got my book yesterday. I just subscribed to Undercurrents this year to check it out, partly because of the chapbook you get as a bonus. I can't say I am at all impressed with it at first glance. First, just in the introduction letter in the front there were two typo errors. (I didn't look...

In my previous post, I mentioned that CDL allows walkons. I probably should amend that a little. We always reserve our spots on their boats before our trip. So even though we do not stay there, we are registered for diving each day. They have two boats, and do their best to take both out if...

The other east end dive operator is Cayman Dive Lodge. They allow walkons. My father-in-law is a Morrits owner, and so we have stayed there, but we still dive at the Lodge. I have dove with OF, TD and CDL and CDL wins hands down. With OF, we did a night dive, and also experienced having to...

You will absolutely not be disappointed in the CDL if what you are going to Cayman for is the diving. They treat you as divers instead of tourists. And they handle all your gear for you. You'll carry your dive gear in, and back out, and that is the only time you have to worry about it. And the...

...you may want to take the first stage to a dive shop and have them put it on a tank for you. I ordered at TX-50 w/DS4 and the High Pressure Seating (?) was not adjusted properly. I had taken it to the LDS to have them put the second stage and octo on the first stage, and while there they...

Hi Flash, We have gone directly through the dive lodge each time. My father-in-law has a light plane, and we fly down with him, so the only thing left is to rent a car and make the reservations with CDL. I don't think you'd get a better price on their package thru a travel agent, but it might...

Hi Darian Dunn, Just a thought if you are considering Cayman Dive Lodge - you might want to call them and ask how many people they are expecting as guests while you are going to be on the east end. They have two boats, and usually reserve the second one for "walk-in" dives. They do, however...

Definite thumbs up for Cayman Dive Lodge. Went there last year and am going back again at the end of Feb. I can't say how the diving is on the west end, but we did have waves every day on the east side. Anywhere from 1-4 ft, although mostly about 2 ft. Not to bad from what I hear. Dmentia

Although I haven't booked a dive trip or the internet, I have booked numerous flights, hotel reservations and car rentals. I recently booked and went on a 1 week trip to Ireland with my wife, and we saved $800 using the internet. I think a previous note gave the best advice- if you are...

During my first O/W dive in my class, my weight belt went down around my ankles. Being a bit "stout" I not only have no hips, but a nice belly to help push the belt down. I made the mental note then that whatever else I bought for equipment, a wt integrated BC was on the list. I have had no...

I saw "The Big Blue" in the theaters many years ago, or at least it seems that it has been a very long time. I really enjoyed it a lot, although I can't tell you much about it anymore since it has been so long. I would definitely recommend it from what I remember of it though! Dmentia

Hi Cokeman, Although I have yet to take advantage of them, since my dive buddy needs to be recertified this spring, I have stopped in at several dive shops in Northeast IL and Southeast WI and there are many opportunities to hook up with the LDS on boats out of Waukegan Harbor, or Kenosha...

Hi, I just ordered and received a TX50/TX40 Octo combo with the DS4 first stage and it is available in yoke. You might also see it called A-clamp on the website. I ordered from DiveInn and was given the choice of DIN or YOKE. Shipping etc. was $24US and I got it in just 4 days, even though it...

...after my rigorous testing of the Apeks equipment in Grand Cayman, the rest of my diving next summer will be in Lake Michigan and quarries! Probably not the coldest water I could find, but cold enough for me! Dmentia
