Certified Two-Tank Dive in Grand Cayman

  • Certified Two-Tank Dive in Grand Cayman
Underwater adventure awaits, and it begins with a 5-minute walk from the port to the dive shop.
Upon arrival at the dive shop, you’ll be fitted with equipment, then proceed to an on-site boat for a ride (then tour) of the sea. Enjoy the ride across the deep blue waters, then jump in to explore below the surface. Here you’ll dive along a gorgeous reef teeming with marine life. The first may take you down (100ft/30m max) a plunging coral wall, while the second dive will be in a more shallow area. After, you’ll return to shore, exchange stories, then walk back to the port.

Shore Things are fully refundable to the original form of payment. However, please note that Shore Things are only fully refundable if they are canceled within 48 hours prior to the booked Shore Thing taking place, unless stated otherwise in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section. If you fail to either (a) cancel within 48 hours of the booked Shore Thing (or alternative time period as may be stated in a specific Shore Thing 'Need to Know' section), or (b) show up for a booked Shore Thing, you will be charged for 100% of the Shore Thing price. 

If you make a cancellation prior to the first day of your voyage and within 48 hours (unless otherwise stated in the tour details) of your Shore Thing, you will be refunded to the original form of payment after midnight Eastern Standard Time (EST) on the day of cancellation.

If you make another purchase prior to midnight EST, after canceling a booking eligible for a refund, the credit from the canceled booking will be applied to your new booking. Therefore, you’ll only be charged for the price difference between the canceled and new experience. If you have remaining temporary credit left on your account after you’ve made another experience purchase, the remaining credit will be refunded to your original form of payment after midnight EST.

If you cancel a Shore Thing during your voyage and are eligible for a refund, a credit will be applied to your folio and not to your original form of payment.


Shore Things departure times and/or meeting locations are subject to change. We will make every effort to notify Sailors in advance via the Sailor App of any tour departure and/or meeting changes.
