Comments	The week of 10/22 - 1/29 is the slowest week of their fall off season, and they were running Tuesday thru Saturday only. We like most, arrived on Saturday and were unable to dive the first two days with Tortuga divers, but used those days to visit the turtle beach and shore dive at Sunset House. Which has a nice reef and is a good place to shore dive from; so all good. Red Sail/ Tortuga dive boats are a well run operation, with very experienced Captains and Instructors. They are organized and efficient, with excellent dive site briefing and hand drawn maps. The boats are comfortable to ride in with a covered area and seating fore aft or up on the flying bridge seating. Entries are from a rear dive platform with and two ladders on either side. The dive sites are not in as bad a shape as I had been reading about in Undercurrent. There was some coral degradation, but the fish life was abundant. We had one day on the North side that was calm enough to dive Julies Wall (next to Babylon), and it was in great shape. When it is too rough on the north and East side, it is only a 25 minute boat ride around the corner to the South and much calmer seas. Where High Rock Drop off and Three Sisters are excellent deep dives with healthy coral. And very nice shallow dives in the caverns and swim throughs in Little House and Iron Shore Gardens. Overall the reefs are not much different than when we came in 2019 before the COVID shutdown. We have been to Grand Cayman 5 times, as Morritts is a easy exchange from our Home resort in Breckenridge, CO. So it is very familiar, but we were impressed with the improvements topside. Especially the roads to the East End, which are now wider and with shoulders in most places. We are always happy to go back, and this trip did not disappoint, as the diving was good and the dive operator excellent as always.
