Sandoo Posted December 14, 2005 #1 Share Posted December 14, 2005 My son is a diver who was looking forward to diving at Grand Cayman. We had planned to pay for the excursion once we got on the ship. That's what we did last Dec. on the Elation with no problems. Today, I went online to view the excursions and found out that there were no two tank dives in Grand Cayman. Carnival informed me that the excursion is booked. My TA never told us to purchase any excursion that we definitely wanted, prior to getting on the ship. So we didn't. We sail on Dec. 25th on the Conquest. Has anyone booked any dives out of Grand Cayman? If so, we need feedback and/or suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skogler Posted December 15, 2005 #2 Share Posted December 15, 2005 My son and I are set to dive with Neptunes Divers in Grand Caymans. We will pay $80 for two tanks. Nitrox was $10 per tank extra. I heard some good comments about this group. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsterjohn Posted December 15, 2005 #3 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I dove with Neptune a few weeks ago. Go to the website and book with them. They are quick to respond to messages and good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billvabeach Posted December 15, 2005 #4 Share Posted December 15, 2005 We were in Grand Cayman a couple of years ago and dove with Eden Roc. They were wonderful and within walking distance of the cruise ship when we docked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambiRumsey Posted December 15, 2005 #5 Share Posted December 15, 2005 If your son will be with a buddy, I rec. Eden Roc. He can walk about 2 blocks from the pier, there is a little pub there , the prices are reasonable and you can walk right into the water for a shore dive. There is another one a little further down, Paradise Cove I think it is called. Larger dive shop, more goodies to buy but the diving is just as good and the prices are comparable. If he does not have a buddy with him he may want to look into a boat dive so others are with him. I know Paradise Cove has boats, not sure about Eden Roc. If there are non-divers in your group, Eden Roc is very snorkel friendly too. Stone steps to walk right down into the water, a sandy area with lounge chairs, tables on the water in the pub...just one of my favorite places in the carribean actually...

Sandoo Posted December 16, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Thanks for all of your suggestions. I will pass it on to my son. He will be on his own, no buddies. He is a very mature 18 year old. I just want to make sure that he signs up with a reputable company that is in sync with the cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure that he signs up with a reputable company that is in sync with the cruise ships.If he is without a buddy, I don't think the shops will rent him gear for a shore dive. However, they will be happy to offer a guided shore dive, It is nice having the guide all to yourself. Or, he can wait at the shop to see if he can buddy up with someone. Personally, I think the guided shore dive is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey and Keith are nice people. You might want to take a snack from the ship for between the dives. Grab a bunch of oranges from the breakfast buffet, they would be a good snack.
