They (Living the Dream) are a top notch operation - every day was better diving than the day before, they even had a birthday cake on board for her on our last day, her birthday. They are exactly as advertised on the website - treat you like they have know you forever - setup your equipment, and put it on you as you sit on the rear of the boat, then take if off and change tanks after surfacing. They take care of any issues you have with equipment, and are entertaining during the surface intervals. They will also pick you up at your condo and drop you off when the day is done.
Wife and I were certified back around '80 (open water in a gravel pit  ). got deep diver, night diver, navigation diver, drift diver and naturally, our advanced certifications. Took 'Dive Trips' to Cozumel, Cayman, Cayman Brac. Our own dive trips to St Thomas, St Maarten, Saba, Cayman, then Cayman again. Living the Dream was far and away the best bunch of folks we had ever used.
Good luck and plan your dive then dive the plan.

Did you dive Tarpon Alley in Cayman? It was a large coral head with fingers at around 60 feet and then in the shoots that went down another forty were HUNDREDS of giant 30-60 pound tarpon just slowing moving back and forth as the current passed in between the shoots and fingers.
It was something I will never forget.
I also have a great picture I took of a nurse shark, a turtle and a giant 250 lb+ grouper at the anchor when we go to the bottom at around 80 feet.
Clearest water I ever dove.
