Cayman Islands tourist dead after another Divers Down accident

[greenturtle]

Are there a list of operators somewhere out there known to have accidents happened at their dive centre? It'll be good for the forum to know before they sign up with these agencies with bad track records. Divers Down for one will be off my list......

I can not believe they do not leave someone topside on the boat while the divers are down , they must have hundreds of inexperienced divers diving over there in a year i will give the caymans a miss not just because of the bad safety record its this issue with stingray city
