What You Need to Know About Dive Equipment Rentals in the Cayman Islands

One of the biggest questions we get at DiveTech from visiting divers is: “Should I bring all my gear — or rent it when I arrive?”

The good news is, whether you're a seasoned diver traveling light or a first-time explorer without any equipment, you’ll find high-quality, well-maintained gear at DiveTech — backed by our professional standards and technical expertise.

In this guide, we break down everything you need to know about renting dive equipment in Grand Cayman: what’s available, what it costs, and how we maintain safety and comfort for every diver.

Why Rent?

There are plenty of good reasons divers choose to rent:

• Travel light: Avoid airline fees, lost luggage, and bulky gear bags

• Try before you buy: Great for newer divers exploring brands or features

• No maintenance worries: Our gear is serviced, inspected, and ready to go

• On-island flexibility: No hassle if you want to dive spontaneously

Especially for short trips or multi-family holidays, renting can keep your luggage lean and your dive days stress-free.

• Ask us for help! We love getting you comfortable in the water
