Comments Ocean Frontiers is a 1st class operation. excellent service, knowledgeable staff, excellent facilities. always on-time, but you never feel rushed. small groups - never more than 12 on the boat. flexible on site selection. our gear was always waiting for us on the boat - rinsed & set up. i wouldn't dive with anyone else in the Caymans.

Morritts Tortuga is a full-service resort wit a great deal to do for the entire family. large rooms with full appliances. resort has a gym and a day spa as well as watercraft (waverunners, kayaks, sailboards, sailboats) available for rental. beach and pool (3 of them) activities as well as kids activities are planned for every day. shopping strip within walking distance includes grocery store. Morritts also has a dive operation, which is adequate - just not up to the 5 star level of Ocean Frontiers.
