The driver picking up passengers was stuck in some traffic that caused us to be late getting out on the catamaran. The crew asked everyone if they had and plans after. Since no one had a deadline, they stayed out on the water and we sailed to give us the full time! What a great thing to do. The crew was very nice and helpful.

Incredible tour this morning. Special thanks to Hervey and Savannah. Amazing way to end a fantastic trip to see your beautiful island.

Grand Cayman is an unforgettable experience, and the waters there are some of the most breathtaking I’ve ever seen. We had the incredible opportunity to visit the famous Stingray Sandbar, a shallow, crystal-clear area out in the ocean where wild stingrays gather. What made it even more surreal was how friendly and curious the stingrays were. They’re like the puppies of the sea, gentle, interactive, and they actually enjoy being petted! It’s important to remember these are still wild animals with their barbs intact, so you do need to move with care and respect their space. Swimming with them in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of moment. If you’re ever in Grand Cayman, this is a must do adventure.

Excellent! We were in great hands with this crew. They are experienced, skilled divers who accommodated us and gave us the best diving experience all round. Damien is the best instructor! In addition, the staff at the Red Sail check-in counter and the bus driver were very helpful, attentive, and punctual. We are so happy we booked our experience through Red Sail Sports!!
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to dive in Grand Cayman?
The beauty of diving in Grand Cayman is that we can dive year-round!
Whilst we don’t typically have ‘seasons’ as such, there are variations in the weather dependent on the time of year you visit. Generally the West side has the calmest waters with winds coming predominantly from the East, but we can offer dives from the North, West, East, South, the Ex-USS Kittiwake & Stingray City.
What is the water temperature in Grand Cayman? Do I need a wetsuit?
December, January & February typically have stronger winds, with slightly ‘cooler’ water temperatures – around 80ºF. The waters start to warm up again after this and the hottest months are July, August,& September – when the water can reach up to 86ºF! Most people are comfortable with no wetsuit, or a 3mm shorty (available to rent if required).
I haven’t dived for a few years. Should I take a refresher class?
Yes. For your safety and enjoyment during your dive activities, Red Sail Sports refresher policy is as follows:
Last dive was over 1 year ago – Refresher Course recommended.
Last dive was 2-5 years ago – Red Sail Refresher Course required.
Last dive was 6+ years ago – Full PADI Scuba Tune Up Course required.
You are more than welcome to complete a refresher class prior to arriving in Grand Cayman and take part in a shallow dive before a wall dive.

Which dive certification cards do you accept?
All certified divers are required to present a Certification card upon check-in. Red Sail Sports accepts the following certification cards, among others: PADI, SSI (NASDS), NAUI, IDEA, PDIC, SDI, YMCA & HSA.
I forgot to bring my certification card with me, will I still be able to dive?
Proof of dive certification is required to dive with Red Sail Sports. Many of the larger dive agencies (PADI, NAUI, SSI) have an online system to look up divers, so if you have forgotten your certification card we should be able to find you if you are certified with one of these agencies. If not then we recommend that you contact your certifying agency prior to arrival on island.

Red Sail Sports' commitment to our guests' safety
As part of Red Sail Sports commitment to our guests safety and enjoyment, we have the following policies in place;
- If you or anyone in your dive group have not been diving in over a year we strongly recommend that you/they do a shallow 1 tank dive before participating in a deep wall dive. This will allow you to check correct weighting and familiarise with dive equipment.
- Similarly, we strongly recommend that if you completed your Open Water Course over a year ago and have not been diving since that you join a refresher class to get yourself comfortable in the water before diving again.
- If you or anyone in your dive group have not dived in the last 2-5 years then you/they will be required to take a refresher class prior to any further diving with us.
- If you or anyone in your dive group have not dived for over 6 years then you/they will be required to complete a PADI Re-activate with one of our Instructors prior to any further diving with us.
- If you or anyone in your dive group are Open Water Divers (or equivalent) and have not dived for over 10 years then we strongly recommend you consider re-taking your PADI Open Water Certification prior to any further diving with us. A lot has changed over the last 10+ years in diving (equipment, emergency procedures, etc) and we feel it would be beneficial for you to update your dive training skills. If you choose not to re-take the full Open Water Course then you will be required to take the PADI Re-activate
