Comments IMHO, Little Cayman offers diving which is as good as it gets in the Caribbean - healthy coral, numerous reef fish, southern and eagle rays in the sand flats, and a few sharks and lots of turtles on this trip. Pirates Point is top-notch with comfortable and clean air-conditioned rooms, excellent food, pleasant clientel, and a fine dive operation. This wasn't my first trip there, nor will it be my last.
