Comments Two years without divers has been kind to the Little Cayman reefs. Sharks have returned to the reefs during our absence.

Susan Howard has stepped into her mother's giant shoes. This was never going to be easy, but the pandemic made it so much more difficult.

If you haven't been to Pirates Pointe (PP) in a awhile you'll notice upgraded rooms and a new paint job for the resort. The food is still great and the resort still has the feeling of a family atmosphere.

It's more expensive than the other resorts, but you don't have to get on a boat with 20 divers. We dove most of the time with a boat of five divers. The crew is experienced and they don't take experienced divers out of the water just to say they do 3 dives. We only did 2 dives , but those dives were usually 70 minutes long. If you were ever going to spring for nitrox, this is the place.

If you haven't been in the water for awhile, this is the sort of easy diving that will get you back into form.
