Good morning everyone! Yesterday, I wrote about a dive operation named Cayman Dive Shuttle. Click here to read it, if you missed it. Today, I am going to continue to share information about dive operations. Cayman Dive Shuttle is more of a focused, relaxed dive operation. DiveTech is another great operation. They have two large boats and two departure sites, Lighthouse Point and Cobalt Coast Dive Resort. Once again, my cousin informed me about some of there dives. They dived with DiveTech for three days. When you dive with DiveTech for three or more days, you get unlimited shore diving and an overall discount on diving. So you will get a pretty good deal! Check out more information and pricing on their website HERE.
My cousin dove five different sites with DiveTech, which were Dragon's Hole, Hepps Pipeline, Black Forest, Portabello, and Peppermint Reef. In comparison with Cayman Dive Shuttle where they went on two deep dives, DiveTech goes on a deep dive and then follows that with a shallow reef dive. As always there are pros and cons to both operations. A positive for DiveTech was there was multiple dive locations plus you can shore dive whenever you want. There was more available on the boat for use such as a device to analyze Nitrox, which Cayman Dive Shuttle did not have. DiveTech's crew was friendly and at times would let you explore without the guide as long as you had a buddy to roam underwater with. A con for a boat that has a lot of divers, your dive is based on amount of time rather than how much air you have. Overall, great operation to dive with!

Cayman Dive Shuttle
Are you visiting Grand Cayman to go diving? I will inform you about a couple dive operations to help start your journey. My cousin dove with two different operations, Cayman Dive Shuttle and DiveTech. I will tell you more about DiveTech in tomorrow's post. For now, I will focus on Cayman Dive Shuttle. I asked my cousin for her feedback on the dives, so hopefully this helps you!
Cayman Dive Shuttle has a more customized dive experience for divers. The operation is owned by a husband/wife team and they have one small boat that fits maximum of 8 people all together. They keep the groups small for a more personalized and relaxed experience, away from the crowds. My cousin dived 4 different sites with this operation which were Pinnacle, Eagle Ray Pass, Lemon Wall, and Princess Pinnacle. They were able to see sea turtles, lion fish, rays, eels, and huge lobsters. These were the dives that got their adrenaline going!
My cousin's favorite experience with Cayman Dive Shuttle was the deep dive swim through. Each deep dive started with a descent to about 50 or 60 ft and then they were led through a crevice between the coral pinnacles. The drop continues as you move through the crevice and opens up to around 100 ft along the wall. When they looked straight ahead, it was open water, if you looked down, there was another 3,000 feet drop. (Scary, intriguing, and awesome if you ask me!)
