Scuba Diving Packages in Cayman

How to Choose the Right Dive Plan for Your Trip (With Divetech Options Explained Clearly)

Planning a dive vacation should feel exciting - not overwhelming. But with so many package types, accommodation choices, boat schedules, and shore diving options available in Grand Cayman, it’s not always obvious where to start.

The good news? Cayman is one of the easiest dive destinations to plan, and when you dive with Divetech, you get something especially valuable:

Flexibility. Comfort. And diving is built around your pace.

Whether you’re a beginner wanting a couple of guided shore dives, a recreational diver planning multiple boat dives, or a technical diver looking for CCR support and wall depths - there is a Divetech package that fits perfectly.

This guide gives you a clear breakdown of:

• The types of dive packages available in Cayman

• Which style suits which type of diver

• What’s typically included

• How to maximize your dive time and value

• Sample schedules to help you visualize your trip

Let’s make this simple, clear, and easy.

First: Understand the Two Basic Package Styles

1. “Dive-Only” Packages

These include diving services without accommodation. Perfect if:

• You already booked a hotel, condo, or Airbnb

• You’re travelling with non-divers

• You like to choose your own lodging style

At Divetech, a dive-only package typically includes:

Included	Details
Boat Dives	Usually 2-tank morning boat dives for 3+ days
Unlimited Shore Diving	At Divetech’s Lighthouse Point & Cobalt Coast shore entry sites
Tanks & Weights	Provided
Hotel/Condo Pickup (West Bay / SMB)	Included in most packages
Professional Dive Guides & Crew	Small group ratios, warm and supportive

Nitrox, private guide upgrades, gear rental, and specialty dives can be added as needed.

2. “Dive + Room” Packages

We don't offer packages with rooms included, so you're free to pick any place to stay while you're in Cayman. Booking a room nearby can make your diving experience smoother and more relaxed. Plus, we offer complimentary pick-up and drop-off for all guests staying at well-known hotels, condos, and residences within the 7-mile area. Staying at or near Lighthouse Point or Cobalt Coast is great for easy shore diving without the hassle of extra travel.

So Which Package Is Right for You?

If you’re unsure, just tell us:

• How many days are you here

• Who’s diving

• Comfort/experience level, and we’ll recommend the exact right structure.

Example Dive Days - So You Can Picture the Flow

Standard Dive Day

Time	Activity
7:30–8:15 AM	Pickup + gear setup + relaxed briefing
8:30–12:00 PM	2-tank boat dive with surface interval
12:00–2:00 PM	Lunch + rest overlooking the ocean
2:30 PM onward	Shore dive or relax by the water
Sunset	Turtle swims or shallow dusk dive
Evening	Dinner + ocean breeze + log your dives :)

This is the Cayman rhythm - peaceful and fulfilling.

For Photographers

• Early morning shore dive for calmest water + soft light

• Boat dives mid-day for color and depth

• Dusk shore dive to watch the day/night shift in the reef

For Families

• One parent dives while the other relaxes oceanside

• “Try Scuba” or snorkel sessions for kids

• Shore dives together when ready

We slow everything down. No pressure. No rushing.

For Technical / Rebreather Divers

• Morning wall dive with staged depth plan

• Afternoon bailout drills or skills refinement

• Support for trimix and CCR setup, scrubber logs, bailout configuration

Cayman’s stable conditions make it ideal for technical progression.

When Should You Book?

If you’re diving during:

• December–April (peak season)

• School holidays

• Summer family travel periods

→ Book early (especially boat spaces).

If you’re visiting:

• May–June

• September–November

→ You may find excellent value + calmer dive sites.

Either way - we’ll help you plan it.

How to Get the Best Value from Your Dive Package

Tip 1: Start your diving early in your trip. Gives you more total dive days (and helps with no-fly time).

Tip 2: Choose a package with unlimited shore diving. This adds extraordinary value - especially at Lighthouse Point.

Tip 3: If you love Wreck, ask us to schedule Kittiwake boat dives + house reef sessions.

Tip 4: If you love walls, ask about North West Wall conditions during your dates.

Tip 5: If you’re nervous or out of practice → add a refresher on Day 1. It transforms the rest of your trip.
