Divetech Cayman
Contributor
The annual Innerspace week organized by Divetech Grand Cayman is one of the world’s longest running and most popular rebreather-only diving events. Innerspace attracts rebreather divers from all experience levels, and from all over the world as far as Australia. It is a week of silent diving in one of the best dive destinations in the world, a chance to catch up with old friends in this close-knit community, or meet new dive buddies.
2019 is the 15th continuous year of Innerspace. For this special anniversary edition Divetech decided to go ‘on the road’ and visit the sister island of Little Cayman. With the island’s reefs including world famous Bloody Bay Wall virtually undiscovered territory below the recreational limit of 130 ft, some true exploration diving is on offer this year.
As Little Cayman offers no technical or rebreather diving facilities Divetech has been preparing for almost a year in planning and shipping all the required support to the island.
Today all the hard work came to fruition as almost 40 eager rebreather divers arrived on the small island of Little Cayman. A week of awesome diving and a lot of fun is getting underway!
Onboard and balilout tanks waiting for the eager divers.
With no technical diving support on Little Cayman Divetech shipped in all supplies; oxygen, helium, scrubber, tanks.

Divetech staff giving instructions to the local boat crew in setting up decompression stations.
Baskets for both used and refilled oxygen and dil tanks.
The Divetech guides went out for a last check-out dive before the divers arrived.
Friday night most of the divers already arrived on Grand Cayman before continuing to Little Cayman on Saturday. A great chance to catch up with old friends and dive buddies.
Time for the trusty Twin Otter to Little Cayman.
Twin Otters filled with happy rebreather divers.
Some last arrivals just before the Liitle Cayman airfield closed for the night.
Perfect base for a week of rebreather diving!
The rebreather room for the coming week at Little Cayman Beach Resort.
Setting up the units.
A nice collection of rebreathers.
Some are very happy to get their units wet again!
While others took a bicycle out to explore the island.
By the day’s end time for some sunset drinks.
Pretty clear who is in town!
After dinner it was time to kick off the week with the opening!
