We were recomended to Tom of Cayman Marine Lab by a co-worker of my wife's , who has dove with Tom for a few years. After checking his Trip Advisor reviews I contacted him. He replied promptly to all my questions.
We arrived in Grand Cayman by cruise ship (Carnival Freedom). Our ship departed from Fort Lauderdale which means ships time was an hour ahead of Grand Cayman. Tom was able to accommodate our early arrival.
We caught a cab to Toms house where his boat was docked.
My party of five did a private 3 tank charter. The first dive was a wall dive, which was beyond belief. The coral we saw while finning along at a 100 ft was some of the largest I have seen. The second dive was a drift dive (have to love "lazy man diving"). The third dive was a lot shallower of course which means the marine life got better.
Tom goes to the least known sites. I wouldn't bother asking for particular site, he knows where the conditions are the best for that day. You are allowed to dive your computer, air and skill level. We returned to the dock at Tom's, a cab was called and we were returned to the cruise ship tenderer and back on the cruise ship in plenty of time. Do your research on the dive operator you choose. I try to go with owner/operator dive ops that only carry 6 to 8 divers.
