Advanced & Tek Diving From Computers & DPVs to Nitrox & Rebreathers
By Nancy Romanica

The Cayman Islands, renowned for their walls, pristine reefs, abundant marine life and outstanding contribution to conservation and safety, once again lead the world in new options for advanced divers.

These include new breathing gases, new dive sites and advanced dive boat excursions allowing computer profiles or multi-level dive plans. From learning to dive in the world's most pristine waters to exploring the sponge belt at 300 feet, the Cayman Islands offer it all.

Through many decades of a strong partnership between dive operators and government, these islands have developed and sustained a reef health and diver safety record second to none. Thinking back to when computers were questioned and double deep wall dives were unheard of, the Cayman Islands implemented and adopted these new technologies and embraced the adventurous spirit many times over the years. Always with an eye toward safety and conservation, they have continued to grow with the diving market to allow mature and advanced divers greater flexibility to match their dive vacation capabilities and desires.
