Deep Blue Divers Review, Grand Cayman

I've been trying to do a summary write up of our Cayman Islands trip. It will take a while, since I have a mountain of photos and video to go through. But in the meantime, here's a review that I wrote on TripAdvisor reviewing Deep Blue Divers, the dive operation we used while in Grand Cayman:

If you like affordable small group diving, valet diving, and if you enjoy a sense of community, than you will love "Deep Blue Divers" operated out of the "Lobster Pot Dive Center" in Georgetown on Grand Cayman. We dove with divemasters Nyall (pronounced Neal) and Alice for 4 days. There were never more than 6 people on any of our dives, and there were usually around only 4 people on the boat at a time.(We never saw any other dive boats or divers when in the water, which, despite the number of tourists in Grand Cayman, especially when the cruise ships are in town, was a treat.)

The staff of Deep Blue Divers are mostly English and Scottish with an Australian and odd American thrown in. Both Nyall and Alice were great. In addition to picking us up at our hotel every morning, they were meticulously attentive to our comfort, down to adjusting our weights based upon their observations of us underwater. Both Nyall and Alice absolutely spoiled us by helping us don and doff our gear, making it truly "valet diving". Alice even helped hook us up with a Stingray City tour when our hotel tour fell through. It was quite a treat to receive such great service delivered with such a nice English and Scottish accents. Alice even called Mark and myself, "Love", "Lovey", and sometimes "Darling", which was music to my American ears.

Deep Blue Divers also makes you feel like part of their family. My husband bought a new dive computer and accidentally left it in their rinse tank. Deep Blue Divers kept the dive computer and gave it back to us the following day. Additionally, my husband and I accidentally collected someone else's brand new mask and only discovered it when we were well on our way to Little Cayman. Coordinating with Nick, the owner, however, we managed to courier the mask from Little Cayman back to the island. I was impressed with the amount of time and logistics Nick spent to get a single mask back to its owner.

In summary, Deep Blue Divers was quite affordable (they offer multi-day discounts), and the service was top notch. Their boat dock is a quick drive from the main drag of Seven Mile Beach. The only drawbacks that I can think of is that their diving is mainly limited to the West Wall, which I hear is not as good as the diving on the North Wall. Also, you might not like their strict time limits. On air, the deeper profiles justifies the time limits - 0:40 for the first dive, 0:50 for the second dive. However, if you're breathing Nitrox, you might feel a little short changed by the shorter dive times.
