Comments	Spent 5 weeks with these guys and can say they are one of the BEST EVER shops I have utilized. I am a PADI Instructor, with over 5000 dives and am very picky about my employers and who I dive with as a customer. This shop specializes in small, custom dive trips. 6 max in the boat, and gladly handles all requests as to dive spots and the like. They can easily adapt their schedule to accommodate cruise ship customers. Their equipment is very well maintained and if you have you own they will keep it, rinse it and put it on the boat during your dive time with them. Concierge service, all the way, will pick you up and drop you back at the cruise ship terminal or where ever you stay. As for instruction, Mac is the owner and a Course Director. He is one of the finest teachers I have ever been around, from DSD through DM. You can do morning or afternoon dives, or both, and night dives are available every day. This is an excellent shop. Grand Cayman still excels at great vis and good dive spots. The fact that the Dept of Environment rotates available mooring buoys has worked wonders in restoration of reefs. IF you are going to Grand Cayman, this is the shop to go to...unless you like big crowds.
