Comments	Very nice trip with our dive shop (Wateree Dive Center in Columbia, SC). Diving was very nice, good viz, good weather and nice critters, small and large. Saw good many turtles, small and adult. Divi Tiara has put money into upgrading the facilities on shore and rooms were nice and food was outstanding. The dive staff was excellent (Daniel and Nicky). However, they need to put money into the boats. Daniel was under contract for a month with his own boat from Grand Cayman and his was excellent with 16 divers. However, the other part of our group (32 of us in all) had problems with their boat about every day. One boat was in the anchorage with an engine pulled and the other one was on its last leg, it seemed. The staff did their best with what they had to work with and it seems the problem is with the central office, not on Cayman Brac. These were the same boats we were on here 9 years ago. Cayman Airways from Cayman Brac to Grand Cayman is a study in inefficiency. All in all, a fun trip and I'll probably go back some time. Hope the boats are better and the airline more efficient.
