Comments Reef Divers provides a valet diving experience that I really enjoyed. There is no rush to shuffle a crossed a pitching deck in your fins and gear. Instead you walk to a seat at the stern, put on your fins, and the crew brings your gear for you to slip on. If you prefer to do it the hard way that is no problem either. You are free to look around with your dive buddy or follow the guide for a 45 minute tour. When the group returns to the always buoy moored boat you may explore the area until your air or time expires. Very low stress, warm, interesting diving. After four wonderful days of diving I woke up at 2:00 AM in excruciating pain. My wife called Trudy Viers, the manager, who called 911 for us and came up to our room to see if she could help. I was afraid I was beyond help but was so glad she was there for my wife. I was taken to the Brac hospital and air lifted to a very modern hospital on Grand Cayman that morning. Trudy and Reef Divers got all my dive gear packed. Helped my wife get organized and provided her a car and driver to take her to the hospital and airport so she could accompany me on the Cayman Air evac plane. Trudy, the entire resort staff, and the Reef Divers team responded to my crisis like close family. I am going back as soon as my doctor says my ulcer is healed (it had a micro perforation, seemed like a nuclear explosion to me).
