    If there were an option to give 0 stars I would. We are seasoned divers and have gone on many dives in many locations around the Pacific Northwest, Baja area and the Caribbean. We are taken out to the dive site and broken up into groups. It was to be my husband, myself and one other gentleman. They gave us a slight briefing and then had us get into the water. Once we were all in the water she told us to start our descent against a wall. We did, and as we did the gentleman we were with sunk like a rock. He went down to more than 153 feet as that is the depth my husband stopped following him at. (My husband is a dive master) he kept trying to get him to put air in his bc, but just continued on down. By the time we finally made it to the top we were about a quarter of a mile from the boat and this guy is nowhere to be seen, and our leader was nowhere near us as well. She finally rejoined us and told us that the boat had to stay where it was and could not pick us up. We had to swim back in open seas with a slight swell. I was ended up giving her my weight belt after she asked my husband if I could swim faster. They were frantically looking for the guy. He finally made it to the surface and got onboard. We had thought they were going to have to call out search and rescue for body recovery. We never did sign wavers for this dive. We felt extremely unsafe diving with this tour and would never recommend it especially if they are using the same summer kids as dive leaders.

    Today we did a 2T dive with AJ & Lazeros of Cayman Diving. If you bring your own gear, please consider to bring adapter or key if you use a DIN. Drinkwater is on board as well as rins tank for cameras. They use PSI gauges instead of bar, so make yourselves familiar with PSI measurements. 1st dive @ Oro Verde Shipwreck in combination with Paradise Reef; both very nice dive sites. Lots of fish and a few stingrays, as well as a eagle ray. 2nd dive @ Patgent; it's a very sandy place with some patches of corals, less fish more divers of other boats. Unfortunately they dive around 45 min and do not make buddy teams, but complete group goes down and up. I could have done both dives with 1 tank and still have enough air left....

    Second time diving the Kittiwake with Cayman Diving - Superb Dive as always but losing a star as this was the only dive I have ever done off a Carnival Ship that some sort of snack was not provided between dives.

    Well this is still the best dive shop. What used to be Divers Down, is now a better version, "Cayman Diving". Don't pass this place up. Staff in the industry changes, but somehow Mark always finds great young new talent to support this great island. Whether your coming in off a ship, staying a few weeks, no experience or a rescue diver, Cayman Diving will be the place you want to stop in for all your diving needs. We were passing through one of our favorite islands, Mark hooked us up with equipment to make out two tank dive successful. Thanks again, see you soon.

    We did a shore dive one day then came back and did the Kittiwake wreck the next day. I emailed with Mark for months before this trip. It was a surprise for my husbands fortieth birthday. We could not have picked a better outfit. They were informative, patient, fun and safe. JC was a total delight - the whole crew was. We will be back!

    Went here for the cali shipwreck snorkeling. It’s close to the cruise taxi/tender terminal and a few steps away from a few local shops. The tour was organized by the cruise, and the cayman diving guides were professional and experienced. We went snorkeling in two spots, an area with natural coral and the shipwreck. It was neat to see and explore both, and see active and lively fish. We saw a few puffer fish, parrotfish (many types), a large tarpon, blue tang, bermuda chub, and many more. The fish were out and about everywhere and even bit my hand.

    Booked an excursion through Celebrity cruises and snorkeled over USS Kittiwake and a coral reef. 10/10 would recommend this tour company. Brian was fantastic! Professional, funny, and even pulled in a swimmer in trouble!

    The owner, Mark, Mitch, AJ and Dan assisted in getting my youngest daughter at 10 years old fully PADI certified. She did the course work prior and then did the open water dives to complete the certification. Mitch is a very gifted teacher and treated her like his own. I worried none about her in his care. AJ took care of my refresher and Dan was super helpful captioning the boat and getting us into a good diving location for the certification. Highly recommend this first class business for any water activity they offer.

    My first diving in eight years, and AJ and Lazarus made me feel safe and at ease, and pointed out cool wildlife including a nurse shark. Two wonderful dives, at the OV wreck at Paradise Reef, and Pageant reef. What an amazing way to end my first ever trip to Grand Cayman. Please give this crew good tips!

  • 5/5 Melissa A. 2 years ago on Google • 16 reviews
    These guys are hands down, the best! As a beginner with special needs, they were amazing! Lee and his crew were so patient, kind, and understanding. They allowed me to get comfortable at my own pace while professionally teaching me the skills I needed to learn. I could not be more thankful for this crew! If you can do it, private was definitely the way to go! Although, even on the group dives, the boat was not crowded and the dive was perfect! The restaurant next door has great food, margaritas, and the best bar buddy pup for after the dive.

    THE BEST DIVE SHOP EVER!!!! Ok.. so I’ve been certified for a long time and my dad has too (he’s 85). We have done ALOT of diving around the world and we were so so so happy to find Mark and his staff at Cayman diving. They made everything so super easy, gave us a refresher course with the amazing Lazarus and had our 2 12yo boys get open water certified with Mitch. Mark is the owner and is a great business guy happy to make your life easy. The instructors were calm, supportive, encouraging and most of all extremely dedicated to safety and comfort. In 2 days our boys are now OPEN WATER certified and we will dive on Saturday as 3 generations of divers. We will definitely be back to see them.

    Signed up for a Wreck and reef Dive with our dive group to dive the Kittiwake and a reef from the Cruise ship. Boats captain said he doesn’t go there, he had no real excuse. I didn’t go there for a reef dive! Neither did the rest of our group.

  • 5/5 Stephan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Had two days of glorious diving with this crew. Lee, B, and Shannon took great care of the us and ensured we had a safe and memorable dive. We dove the wreck of the Oro Verde, the Governors House reef, La Mesa, and Eagles Nest.

  • 5/5 Nick M. 2 years ago on Google
    First time at the island and first time scuba diving. They made it very welcoming and easy! They will help you with whatever you need, take you to see beautiful things, and just get the best experience possible!

  • 5/5 Sandra P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the best experience with Cayman Diving! Lee was very responsive and easy to work with while planning our trip. JC and Bea took phenomenal care of us on the boat. We dove the Oroverde which was like diving in an aquarium. We will definitely book with Cayman Diving again on our next trip to the Caymans!

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the best experience diving with Cayman Diving! Lee, Bea, and J.C. were fabulous. Lee had great communication as we were booking our dive adventure. Bea and J.C. were with us on our dive. They could not have been more helpful or kind. Would definitely recommend booking with them! Planning on visiting them again next time we are on Grand Cayman.

  • 5/5 Vaso E. 2 years ago on Google
    Did a resort dive with Cayman Diving. My husband and I are certified but first time for kids. Bea and JC did a great job teaching our 15 year old son and 16 year old daughter to dive. They were patient and stayed with them the entire time. The depth was 20 feet and we dove a wreck. I would highly recommend cayman diving! We also used Cayman Diving to go to Stingray City on the Allura catamaran. We had a great time, fed the rays and spent adequate time with the rays. Lots of fun!!!!

  • 5/5 Aaron F. 5 years ago on Google
    Everyone was patient and thorough while instructing my 12 year old son through his Junior Open Water Certification. We continued with multiple dives and we were able to explore shipwrecks, turtles, fish galore ... We plan to be back.

  • 5/5 Shara C. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience we had was amazing! Even though we didn't get to go to kittiwake like we had booked originally Kurt and Mel made our experience at cheeseburger reef and the Cali sunken ship worth it by far. They were both very helpful and very informative on the history of both experiences and the area of grand cayman. We will definitely use cayman diving in the future if we come to grand cayman again! Thanks again Kurt and Mel!

    On a Disney Cruise through Georgetown, took an opportunity to go snorkeling with my Girlfriend and her kids. Wonderful experience, many memories and kids loved the experience. Instructors were thorough and extremely helpful. Made us want to come back on our next excursion. 5 stars all around.

  • 5/5 Rick K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great dive! Lauren, AJ and Lee all went above and beyond to provide an excellent experience. Would definitely come back and dive again with them.

  • 5/5 Julien S. 2 years ago on Google
    Booked a snorkeling session through Disney Cruise. Everything was perfect, there spot is walking distance from the port, they provided gear that was in great condition and the snorkeling was nice. Forgot the names of the instructors we had but they were both pretty cool blonde dudes. Really appreciated there tips and story telling. Would definitely recommend for anyone stopping by on a cruise!

  • 5/5 Joanna M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a lovely snorkelling adventure with this company. The water was perfect. Just the right temperature and so clear! The wreck was extremely interesting, and there were so many colourful fish.

  • 5/5 Jaden 2 years ago on Google
    Went through these guys with my Royal Caribbean cruise. It was cheaper than my dives in freaking Mexico!!? Loren, Josh and Lee were helpful, all about fun and not leaving newer divers behind.

  • 5/5 Gary V. 2 years ago on Google
    We went on the 12:30-2:20 reef & wreck snorkel. The Captain and her first mate were awesome! Two great snorkel sites. Weather was perfect.

  • 5/5 L O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great dive guides , Lauren and Kristen! Although Becky and Ashley weren't bad either🤣🤣 They took really good care of our group. Gear was in really good shape. No malfunctions in our group. Everyone made sure we had what we needed. Fresh water was available between dives. Great information and instructions before the dive. Pageants Beach coral has been beat up by weather and fish life was ok. Did see two lobsters!! Devil's grotto had fantastic tunnels and archways, lots of different sealife. Great for open water divers from cruise lines.

    I can not say enough about Lester and Javi! These two guys were awesome. Full of instruction, patience and information about our snorkeling trip on the reef and USS Kittiwake. I will recommend this outfit and next time I’m in Grand Cayman will go out with them again!

  • 5/5 Julia C. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    The crew for Cayman Diving did an excellent job of making sure everyone was safe and comfortable with the experience giving ample instruction and guidance on the snorkeling equipment. Their positions for the snorkeling was incredible from the reef to the shipwreck. Their positive attitude and willingness to help whenever needed made for a stress free experience that created a life long memory in a positive way

  • 5/5 Tiana S. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Alvin and Brian were absolutely amazing snorkeling hosts. We originally booked through Viator for a different snorkeling company that ended up canceling on us the day of porting. My wife and I found cayman divings right outside of waffle monkey ( who has the best blts btw) and they were able to accommodate us last minute for a great price. Brian and Alvin were extremely helpful and even helped us swim through the waves for our first time snorkeling. I ended up getting seasick and they didn’t even bat an eye at it. Unfortunately we forgot to tip them for such an amazing first time snorkeling experience so us Delawareans will be back definitely!
