My wife and I just got back from a quick trip to Grand Cayman for three days of diving with Sunset House. All around Great trip. The only negative is that the water was quite cold even for winter. We had several dives in the 74 or 75 degrees range. Luckily, I packed our wetsuits just in case. Good thing because it would have been miserable without them. I dove a full 3 and my wife dove a full 3 plus a 3/2 shorty over it.

Sunset House was terrific. As has been said in other threads, it's not the Ritz but it is clean, comfortable and built for divers. The dive trips were organized, on time, and not overly crowded.

We dove a great variety of sites and saw a tremendous amount of life. One thing that worried me was the incredible number of Lionfish that we saw. I hope that the biologists come up with something. Otherwise the Caribbean is going to get renamed Lionfish sea.

The Kittiwake was absolutely great. It is kind of weird to dive a completely clean wreck. Cayman did a great job prepping the boat. It is easy to maneuver while still being interesting. It seems to be well secured but I hope that mother nature gives it a year or two to settle before throwing a major storm at it.

That's the quick report. I'll try to add more later as well as some pics.
