Come
and dive with Peter one of Caymans best known dive instructors
with over 25,000 dives to his name. Early departures
for best dive sites and new state of the art dive boat (max.6
divers).
We
are one of Cayman's premier dive operations, and have been
providing personalized service to small groups since 1978.
Our daily trips leave from the Seven Mile Beach, and hotel
& condo pickup is available by prior arrangement.
Come
dive with us on the world-renowned walls, reefs, and wrecks
of Grand Cayman Island. Enjoy some of the very finest undersea
ecology on the planet, along with superb visibility, almost
no current, and calm tropical waters.
On
the western side of the island, visit such famous sites as
Trinity Caves and Sand Chute and the Wrecks of the Balboa,
the Oro Verde, and the Polson. Marvel at the quantity and
variety of fish life at Peter's Reef or Fish Reef, or enjoy
unique sites such as Spanish Anchor (where you examine an
anchor that has been dated to the time of Columbus, amid a
rich complex of marine life).
On
the north, wonder at the dramatic drop-offs and pinnacles
of Lemon Wall, Black Forest, or White-Stroke Canyon, or pay
a visit to the denizens of Tarpon Alley or Eagle Ray Pass.
On the south, enjoy rarely dived sites such as Blackie's Hole,
Oriental Gardens, or Armchair. Grand Cayman is surrounded
on all sides by exquisite dive sites, and we have visited
them all.
Advanced
reservations are recommended due to the limited number of
divers per trip. Dives are made from our 26' and 36' flattop
boats, with tanks, weights and belts provided.
Come
and find out why so many of those who dive with us are repeat
customers.
Dive
Trips
Small-group
diving means personal attention in a relaxed and friendly
atmosphere. It also means that making reservations in advance
is an EXTREMELY GOOD IDEA! Give us as much advance notice
as you can, and we will do our very best to meet your needs.
MORNING TWO-TANK DIVE: Departing 7:30 a.m., returning about
11:30 a.m. We do a guided wall dive, have a relaxing surface
interval, then do a buddy-up reef dive. A cooler of ice water
and a fruit snack are provided.
AFTERNOON
STINGRAY CITY DIVE OR SNORKEL TRIP: Departing at 12:30 p.m.,
returning about 3:00 p.m. We take you to the famous shallow
Stingray City in the North Sound, where groups of wild Caribbean
stingrays come to be hand-fed by divers. Join in (or just
watch) the fun of offering these exotic creatures their favourite
squid treat, and enjoy a close-up view as they sail gracefully
all around you.
NIGHT
DIVE: Departing about 6:00 p.m. (time to be confirmed prior
to the dive). As numbers permit, we conduct a guided, one-tank
night dive. Underwater lights are provided.

Where
to Stay
If you choose to stay in a hotel, there are several to consider:
Treasure Island, Comfort Suites, The Courtyard Marriott Inn,
The Marriott, Ritz Carlton Resort, The Westin, and The Hyatt.
But
families often find that renting a condo is better value.
If two couples share a two-bedroom condo, for example, the
per-person cost is much less than in a hotel. In any case,
access to a kitchen will reduce the cost of your holiday substantially.
There
is a wide range of condos available for daily rental on Seven
Mile Beach. For example, Seagull Condos, located on one of
the best stretches of the Beach and opposite the West Shore
shopping plaza, offers one-bedroom condos (generally hard
to find). Villas of the Galleon is a very pretty resort containing
two-bedroom units, approximately mid-way along the Beach.
Silver Sands Condos is located at the quiet north end of the
Beach and is less handy to shopping but provides luxuriously
spacious three-bedroom units. Sunshine Suites also offers
wonderful lodging and a great centralized location.
Type
Payments Accepted: cash, trav. ch. personal chqs.
