Comments	We originally booked an Aggressor trip but got cancelled two weeks before the trip was to start. Later heard "rumors" that the Aggressor hadn't sailed for almost 3 months.. go figure. We researched land-based diving through Undercurrent reports and settled on Indigo Divers. We weren't disappointed. We had 3 days of 2-tank Nitrox dives and visited dive sites on the West Bay, Northwest Point – with different terrain, reef types, and wall dives on the north! Most notable.. eagle rays, sharks lettuce nudibranch, scorpion fish, lots of Caribbean tropicals In addition to the great diving, Indigo Diver’s owners Captain Chris and his wife Kate are friendly, knowledgeable and customer-oriented, and their attention to detail and safety will ensure you have great dives. They were committed to get to the best sites available on our dive days. Indigo has a 6-diver maximum. We had only 4 divers, 5 on the last day. Their boat is fast, and comfortable. Chris helped with our BCD's while we sat on the rear transom then took a giant stride to the surface. Dive sites had little to no current with 80 to 100 ft visibility. Towels, water and fruit were provided after each dive. Kate picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, always on time. All-in-all a prize.

Hi Paul, thanks for the report. What were the effects of SCTLD on the reefs you visited?

By report author: PAUL KECSKEMETY in AZ, US at Sep 21, 2022 12:35 EST

Not sure what SCTLD stands for. We stayed to the west and north of Grand Cayman. The reefs were generally healthy, little (no) coral bleaching. The condition of the reef improved with depth 70 to 90 ft. Walls were especially healthy with lots of juvenile fish, some sharks and a spotted eagle ray, 1 or 2 lion fish.

Sorry, my mistake, Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, reported off Grand Cayman in June 2020, rapidly spread around most of the island. I was trying to get an idea regarding the extent of damage. Thanks for your reply
