About us
Red Sail Sports is dedicated to helping people have fun! We understand that while you’re on vacation, you want to make the most of it.
Red Sail Sports opened in 1987 at the Grand Cayman Beach Suites Hotel (formerly the Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman) on Grand Cayman. We started with two dive boats, some beach toys and about 20 enthusiastic staff members! Since then, we’ve built a reputation as one of the world’s leading resort watersports operators. Our philosophy has remained the same throughout the years: Give the customer the highest quality service possible. In 2012 we celebrated 25 years of excellence!
Today, Red Sail Sports has now grown to seven dive boats, five luxury sailing catamarans, dive shop locations at the major beach resorts on Grand Cayman, and an impressive range of resort retail boutiques.
People come to the Cayman Islands because of the beautiful clear water, soft sandy beaches and year-round sunshine. They dive and snorkel with us because we offer the friendliest crew, the most comfortable dive boats and the best equipment to enjoy these attractions. Let our creative, knowledgeable and professional dive staff make your dive trip a memorable one!

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.
If you have any further questions about our refresher course policy then please call toll free 1-877-506-6368 or email and our representatives will be happy to assist.
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.
