The dive op out EE is Ocean Frontiers (not the only op, but definately the best).
 
I'm staying at morritts and would like a good dive opt to dive with. Small boats good people. I don't need a guide or someone to tell me how to dive. Just friendly safe people. Oh and good prices!!!

There are only two dive shops operating in East End. Tortuga Divers operates out of Morritt's Tortuga Club and their boats depart from the dock there. Ocean Frontiers operates out of their shop about 3 miles from Morritt's. They will pick you up from Morrit's if you like.

Tortuga Divers operates two Newton 42 dive boats which are equipped to take up to 24 divers (21 guests + 3 staff diving) but they typically limit a boat to a maximum of 16 guests + staff diving. Ocean Frontiers operates boats of similar size or slightly smaller. Significantly smaller boats would not be suitable for year round operation in East End where the waters are sometimes rougher.

Prices are similar between the operations. Ocean Frontiers will rinse and store your gear for you.
 
I,we had the worst experience ever had, while try to get some info on diving with the on-site shop at Morritts .I think it was a Red Sail Shop named Tortuga Diver , Don't get me wrong Red Sail usually has a good reputation for its customer service but the woman at that dive shop was the RUDEST and least helpful person on the island she needs to find another job without customer interaction. I would have perfered not to dive at all; rather than book a dive through that shop. I went as far as to go back midway through our trip and see if maybe she was just having a bad day , No miserable again. That of my chest we headed a couple of miles south and had a great time diving with Ocean Frontiers at Compass point very helpful nice boats just a great time. While talking with the other divers on the boat come to find out that 8 of the 10 divers were also from Morritts, all had the same opion obviously. Great shore diving Ocean Frontiers also rented us tanks and gave us some good options to check out . Great diving in the Caymans and Compass Point & Ocean Frontiers are a 1st rate operation.
 
Hi Moosesun,

Glad youy liked OF. We have dived with them many times and have always found their service to be top-notch.

Where did you do shore-dives? On our next trip we hope to try some north and east shore dives on GCM.

Definitely dive with OF. All the folks there were friendly, helpful, and fun. We dove with them
in October and I will definitely use them again on my next trip. Another bonus - take your gear on your first day and you won't need to worry about it again until after your last dive. They carry, clean, hang your gear after every trip and reload it on the boat for you the next morning.

If you choose them tell Neil, Britta, Sam, and Elly that Scott and Mo from Maryland say hi!
