Computer Diving for all!

FREEDOM, ADVENTURE, SAFETY!!

MAX OUT YOUR BOTTOM TIME!

Divetech has gone 100% computer diving/profiles on the boats! This new service allows divers more bottom time on the great multi-level walls and reefs in Cayman. This service is also extended to our students. PLUS - FREE dive computers will be supplied if you need one for the week.

We have over 40 wrist computers that support  both air & nitrox. These new units are easy to use, and will offer our boat diving customers and students more freedom, more flexibly, and a great safety advantage.

Our boat diving schedule/hours of operation allow time for 2 x 1-hour dives, assuming no decompression and gas supplies allow this. This change, while a significant investment on our part, is in response to our customers and what they would like to see from us. So we listened and we have responded! The natural underwater topography of Cayman allows for great multi-level dives, so take advantage of this with computer diving.

Coupled with our complimentary shore diving packages at both Lighthouse Point and at Cobalt Coast Dive Resort, we hope that this new innovation will be an exciting and rewarding option for divers choosing to dive with us.  Rental computers are also available for sale, if you would like to take yours home, at a great rate to keep you diving on a computer! Ask our knowledgeable staff for details.
