Lampwick Posted August 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2016 We'll be in GC over the Thanksgiving holiday and was hoping to find a good quality dive for non certified divers. I'm certified but my DD is not, however, she has been diving several times and is very comfortable with it. We did a discover scuba dive in Ocho Rios last year off a boat and it was awesome! Just as good as most certified dives. We are hoping to match the experience in GC. Can someone suggest a dive shop that may be able to accommodate an experienced yet non certified diver like my daughter? Thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinmike Posted August 14, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Why don't you get your daughter trained properly and certified? That would be the responsible course of action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drew sailbum Posted August 16, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Dive shops in Cayman are quite rigorous in following certifying guidelines from certifying agencies. One limitation is accepted supervision ratios of 4:1, students to instructor, for Discover Scuba Diving. Certified divers count against that supervision ration when accompanying a student in a Discover Scuba Diving course. Thus many dive shops will not accept certified divers to tag along with a course, particularly if it means refusing a potential student. Further DSD students are limited to a maximum depth of 40 feet. This limit is strictly followed in Cayman which does limit dive site selection for boat dives. Thus many DSD programs are run from shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
