Comments	I had looked forward to the Caymans for a long time, and of all the places that I had been before this one had the least amount of tropical fish, very few corals and NO big critters. The Folks where very eager to try and help but it just appears that the reefs are very sparsley populated with much of anything. Now the food at Divi Tiara Resort was excellent, the lodging comfortable, and the staff eager to please. Caymans are expensive, and not a good value for my American dollar. Next time I may try staying on Little Cayman just to see if it is better diving, but if it turns out to be the same then I probably will spend my diving dollars elsewhere. I took my Canon Rebel on all dives and never got any creatures in large amounts. But on the flip side I did relax and eat well, I was just let down by the diving.

UW Photo Comments	Crew treated us very well, but there was just nothing to photograph. I had looked forward to the Caymans for a long time and to be honest it was a big let down. Bloody Bay wall was OK, but the diving on the Bahamas walls is better, More life for sure, especially Macro.
