Exactly like cgills said - the dive shop, resort, and bar/restaurant at Cobalt Coast are now all separate entities. We have a great working relationship between the 3 businesses, but the booking process needs to be done separately. We're flexible with dates and have some great dive packages...

Correct, Cobalt Coast Resort is done their renovations and officially open and taking reservations! You can visit the website Home - Cobalt Coast Grand Cayman Resort for details, pictures, and prices, as well as links to book your stay. We have a brand new (and pink!) shop here at Cobalt...

This is an excellent list for Grand Cayman shore diving! Definitely check out the blackwater dives with Sergio. Just chiming in to add that In-Depth Watersports has taken over at Macabuca/Turtle Reef and have boat and shore diving options. They can also run their boat to the North Wall, weather...

Hi all, we've posted a new blog post we thought you all might be interested in! We've compiled a list of awesome non-diving things to do here on Grand Cayman, whether you're looking for something quick to do between dives, or need to take a break from blowing bubbles to hang out with non-diving...

Divetech's blog is back! We had to take a break from posting as we put all our efforts into bringing back the business in a post-pandemic world, but we are happy to report the blog is once again up and running! Follow the link below to read more about what we've been up to in the past few years...

Bloodworms! Many people have already suggested shining your light on corals, arrow crabs and cleaner shrimp so they'll eat the worms which is always fun to watch. If your daughter wants to just avoid the bloodworms as much as possible, they are attracted to the torch light so keep moving so...

Not much information at the moment other than all crew and passengers are safe.

Hi everyone, Divetech here! Happy to report we're officially open and running for amazing shore diving at Cobalt Coast. The site hasn't been dived much the last few years so the reef is really healthy. We have plenty of tanks, weights, and rental equipment available. If you want to night dive on...

Grand Cayman is a great place for divers and non-divers alike! We're a dive shop in West Bay on the island and its quite common for our guests to have non-diving people in their groups. If you are looking for the main tourist stretch, with plenty of shops and restaurants and white sand beaches...

Grand Cayman is great for new / uncertified divers. There are plenty of dive sites both from shore and from the boat that are shallow, full of life and usually great water conditions. We are a dive shop located in Grand Cayman and dive these sites regularly with new and uncertified divers.

A very old thread to resurrect, but currents change very rapidly here, and are wildly unpredictable. Some spots are known to have a higher likelihood of current than others - the Northwest Point (Orange Canyon, Big Tunnels, etc) for example. That said, current regularly increases and decreases...

Since no one else answered... In 2016, Divetech held our annual Innerspace event at Compass Point, and I stayed in one of their units for a week. It was very nice. Granted that was 6 years ago though. We know most of the employees there, and I do know over the COVID shutdown, they re-did many...

It is a constantly changing bar, but to put some perspective on it, it's not that bad. Having gone through the process, the LFT tests take only minutes. Literally you walk in the tent, sign your name, they swab you and you're out the door. Most hotels do it on-site. For my 3 tests I walked the 5...

Yep, there certainly is a risk. But there is risk with anything in life, and everyone needs to make their own personal assessment. I've always joked that your biggest risk in Grand Cayman, is walking down West Bay road in the evening, where locals seem to think the section by Lone Star is a 1/4...

Hi everyone, Sorry for the radio silence. We actually had a very busy holiday season. While the total number of guests was of course down from 2019, the fact that we have 1/3rd of the staff we had then made us quite busy. We've had a number of travelers in from the states, and a few staff...

Scubadada's post sums it up. There is a post-dive disinfection process the DOE recommends. At Lighthouse Point, we have a large tub of disinfectant solution, along with laminated directions. Boat divers are strongly encouraged to go to LHP after the dive and follow the disinfecting directions...

Quick edit, and correction on some of my figures. They were educated guesses, as the fastest we can go is 21 knots. My friend Dom runs the boat Midnight Moon, so I just asked him. His boat can do a max speed of 60 knots. With glass flat seas, this is around 100 minutes. I'm told the record is...

Did not know that, it was represented to us as direct. We had a customer just take it, so I'll confirm with him. No you can book your flight, you just need to apply and get permission from Travel Cayman before boarding the flight. Yes, it's $25 CI per test. There's some basic rules in...

I'll chime in on this, as we get this question very often. Or at least we did pre-covid. Depending on what part of Grand you left from and what part of the sister islands you ended at, the distance can be as much as 117 miles from West Bay to the Brac's east end, and as short as 66 miles from...

Hi everyone. Well we made it. Cayman has (or will in 34 minutes) entered phase 4 of the reopening plan. Securely vaccinated travelers may come back to visit us. There is an application process, and lateral flow tests that must be completed on days 2, 5 and 10. I've updated our border opening...
