Comments I had some hesitations after reading a bad review of Ocean Frontiers.
The 4 dives in 2 days I took with O.F.s were great! I dove with O.C. years ago. Then, we went to the right after we left the breakers. This time we turned to the left (north). This was definitely the best coral I have ever seen on Grand Cayman. The divemasters were very informative during predive with drawings on white board. We were allowed to go on our own or follow divemaster,or both. No time limits (I spent over 1 hr each dive). First time I had seen Elkhorn coral in years! The fish were plentiful but nothing uncommon. Apparently, not a lot of fishing going on in the area. Fruit, water and towels were offered on board. If you stay on 7-mile beach,2 dives on the northeast side, and coming back take up most the day. When I go back, I will stay on the East side. An article in Undercurrent recently said diving the west side(7-mile)was terrible. I agree 100%.
