[EastEndDiver]

nfarrar here is the website;

Cayman Hotels: Turtle Nest Inn, Grand Cayman - Intimate & Affordable Beachfront Alternative.

There are 8 rooms at the Inn and 10 condos.

I own a condo there ,so I am partial to it .

As a resident on Cayman, I'd have to say I'd disagree with the "expensive" tone of this post. 1. You really must rent a car. 2. We have plentiful shore diving!! If you have your own equipment then a tank rental is 10ci MAX! If you make a trip to the grocery store, then you'd see that everything in Cayman is expensive, but you seemed to have found some great restaurants on the cheap, Cobalt Coast being one of them. Shame about the accommodations. Try Sunset House next time for great diving and grand shore diving. Its located much closer to everything - social and otherwise- and the locals frequent the bar there. Plus, being away from the Point, it hardly ever closes shore diving.

I had to jump in here and add my two cents on costs. You can do GC on a modest budget. I was just going through our expenses for last week and here's what I have:
1 week , 1 bedroom condo on beach at Morritt's: $851.50 including all taxes and electricity.
Groceries for the week: (3 people) $280.00
rental car: (mid-size at Economy). $265.00
beer: (not including bar/restaurant): $85.00
gasoline: $64.00
Boat dives: $235.00 (2 trips) per diver
Shore dives: (5 nitrox, 2 air) $108.00) per diver
2 dinners/ 1 lunch out: $70.00 each
or about $930.00 per person for everything!

We didn't skimp on our meals and had world class diving.

I'll be back!

Good diving,

Captain Rick
