Comments	This was my third time visiting Cayman Brac, staying at Brac Reef Beach Resort and diving with Reef Divers. Although it was a quick Memorial Day Weekend dive trip, it was an easily accomplished rejuventation: flew out of PA Friday morning, on Cayman Brac by friday afternoon; three-tank dive Saturday, two-tank dive Sunday (including an excursion over to Bloody Bay Wall on Little Cayman), eight great meals, and flew home Monday. Only problem: we proved that this could be done~! Brac Reef Resort appeared to be pretty much back together after being hit by the storm surge from hurricane Ivan last summer. The docks are almost completely repaired; the dive boats and buildings weathered the fierce winds with little noticable damage. Under water the reefs and walls apppear relatively unscathed: just the occasional demonstration of residual from storm surge was noticable. Visability was typical of the Caymans: >100 feet in warm still waters. Sponges, soft and hard corrals are abundant. Many juveniles noted on the reefs, and turtles check in regularly. Reef Divers as expected provided excellent "concierge-style" service, even for us 3-nighters! And, to the amazement of my traveling companion, every one of the dive staff greeted me by name on arrival (last visit was August 2004). Their friendliness extended to him during our long weekend at Brac Reef and amply demonstrated why I like to return annually to this jewel in the Caribbean Sea.
