Comments	This was our 16th trip to Pirates Point since 1995. That, alone, should tell you that we like it - a lot. My wife and I make an annual, 2 week, pilgrimage to Pirates Point the beginning of August every year. After having been diving all over the Caribbean and the rest of the world Little Cayman (and Pirates Point) is now the only place we will dive in the Caribbean. August means warm water, flat seas, and good visibility. For those who worry about hurricanes we have only been there once when a hurricane came through and all that did was keep us from diving for 2 days. The Little Cayman reefs are some of the healthiest in the Caribbean and the resorts on the island join together to keep the lionfish under control so that the native tropicals are not decimated like they are in many parts of the Caribbean. Even having been there 16 times I typically see at least one new thing every year. Something like 80% of the guests at Pirates Point are repeats and we meet up with many folks who have become friends over the years coming at the same time that we do. The divemasters and rest of the staff have also become good friends that we look forward to seeing every year. On top of all this the food is wonderful. The only downside is that I gain weight every year and it takes me the whole next year to get it off and then I go back to Pirates Point and put it on again.
