Comments	Spent 3 days diving with my son using Cayman University Divers. Brad runs the operation with Cole as the divemaster. They run a small boat off the west side of the island that can handle up to 6 people but we only had 4 people on the boat each day. What is really cool is they have an underwater communication system where they attach a receiver to each diver, and we can hear what they are saying while we are diving. The range is limited so you have to stay near to the guide. If you wanted to explore they didn’t restrict you as long as they could see you (we had 50-60 ft vis each day) They were very accommodating and were willing to take us to any type of diving, so we started with the Kittiwake. The ship is almost fully intact but cleaned out so that we can enter at one end of the ship and swim through the rooms. Brad gave us a guided tour through the ship and using their microphone system informed us of which room we were in as we progressed through the ship. We did 2 dives each day. We went to multiple sites on the North and west sides of the island. We saw rays, sharks, a turtle, barracuda, crabs, and tons of small fish. The wall is still struggling with Stony Coral Tissue loss disease but many of the brain corals look like they are thriving in some areas. In the afternoons we did some sightseeing each day. Lots of good restaurants and places to stay all over the west side. The dive narration really added a nice difference to the dive. We didn’t have to wait till the end of the dive to figure out what we saw. We also received truly white glove service. They set up all our equipment, set the tanks so we could just slip into our equipment before each dive, and then broke down everything and put it back in our dive bags at the end. It is clear they love what they do and make the experience very enjoyable.
