I am not a strong swimmer, ok maybe I'd rather be in a pool where I can touch the sides with my hands and the bottom with my feet. But, Grand Cayman was a once in a lifetime vacation for me (60s - never been out of the States) and I was determined I was going to try something new. I was a little nervous signing the release slips, then got a little more nervous when I realized that we would have to swim to the location, then holy cow nervous-full blown panic attack once in the water and figuring out how to breath with that mask on and move with the dang fins....but then our guide got in front of me and step by step helped calm me down by telling me what to do. The owner had given instructions before we got in the water but being in the water and having this mask on was a whole 'nuther ball game. But let me tell you, that I got it figured out and managed just fine! I wasn't brave enough to let go of the little raft and actually sink down in the depths of the water but I did have my head in the water and saw the shipwreck and the amazing fish. About the time we were headed back to shore I was really comfortable with the breathing, fins, mask, etc and wanted to try to go lower in the water but knew I missed my opportunity to be more brave. I was SO glad that I had this opportunity and if I go back to Grand Cayman which I surely do want to, I will definitely want to go again. The staff was so awesome - they were fun, knowledgable, calming and so helpful. Our family of 6 (3 adult couples) had just a wonderful time. Thank you!…

First I want to say that I believe the negative reviews posted here are for another company/tour. This shire excursion was booked through our Carnival Cruise line booking. We were met at the pier and then took a short walk to the site. The instruction given in advance was clear, complete and told me everything I needed to know. The guides were very helpful in choosing the right fins, weight belt, and mask & snorkel. Once we entered the water the instructor/guide, Sarah, gave us ample time to become comfortable with the equipment and then it was a short snorkel to the dive site. Throughout the experience Sarah continued to communicate with us and make sure we were doing well. She added weights as needed and led us through coral and the wreckage. She pointed out different fish and even found a lobster to show us up close. This was one of the most amazing experiences I have had and I can’t wait to do it again! Thank you Sarah and team for such a great adventure! …

This is great for beginners who have little or no experience diving. The guide went over all the safety procedures and made sure we were comfortable during the whole dive. We were able to see a lot of different kinds of fish and marine life. The shipwreck had lots of colorful fish. I would recommend this to anyone the staff are great and friendly!.…

My 2 sons did the SNUBA shipwreck tour about 2 years ago and loved it so much that when we were in the Caymans again, that was one thing they asked to do again. Fidel and his team are phenomenal. They are great with kids of all ages and my 2 teenagers had a blast. SNUBA is now their favorite water activity thanks to Fidel!…

I was very apprehensive about doing snuba. I had tried it one other time before and did not do it successfully. I am very comfortable with snorkeling but I float and need a lot of weight to bring me under. Sarah, the guide was very patient and informative and made sure I was ok all along the way. A short snorkel out to the site and then my entire family took to it like fish. I still could not sink. so I ditched the weight and they dove down so I could use the aspirator. I did it! Yay.. Next time I will work on more weights and see if I can get down further. Even still, it was FUN and we So enjoyed it.…
