Technical Diving in Grand Cayman January 2025

January 18 – January 25 CST

Technical Diving in Grand Cayman

Overview

Grand Cayman offers the perfect mix of warm water, warm, clear water and the opportunity to dive at a variety of depths. For technical divers, it has the added benefit of offering mixed gasses, rebreather supplies and dive boats catering to technical diers needs.

This trip is designed for Technical EANx and Normoxit Trimix divers with depths up to 200 feet. Of course, recreational divers are welcome to join us on this trip. A separate recreational dive guide will be assigned to you.

Where will we be diving?

Depending on the weather and sea state our dives will be on the North wall and West Bay on Grand Cayman. The beauty of Grand Cayman is that there are generally places to dive if the winds change direction.

What is included?

Unlike most of our trips, this is more of an alacart trip. Ther are some boat dives included but we will also be doing some shore diving. Breathing Gasses, rentals and CCR absorbant will be charged seperately depending on use.

Additionally, the participants will be renting a car and splitting the costs. This allows you to get around the island, to dinner and to the boat pick-up locations.

Is there Technical Diving offered?

Yes, this is primarily a technical diving trip.

May I dive my rebreather?

Absolutely! Grand Cayman id a rebreather friendly destination.

What is not included?

Airfare, rental cars, fuel, meals, beverages, breathing gasses, cylinder rentals, absorbant, diving other than the scheduled dives, tips for the local dive staff.

Are there other things to do?

Grand Cayman offers a lot of fun activities and adventures. Ask your trip leader to help arrange things.

What People Say…

Kelley Jones Minor

Appreciate the personal service and care at Oceanic Ventures

Ann really took her time helping to fit my niece with her first mask and fins. We so appreciated the personal attention, and we loved that she was open to talking about dive certification, but she wasn't giving us the hard sell. We live out toward Tomball but would happily drive back here vs. going to a nearby competitor simply for the service.

Jean Jansen

Oceanic Ventures is wonderful

They gave been wonderful all the way. My son started in Scuba Rangers and now we are both certified; thank you for taking care of us!

I loved it

I loved the course!

Holland Geibel

Andrea Lebovitz

Thank you for the memories

I will never forget diving with my teen aged son for the first time. Thank you for the memories.

Dick Long

Eric Keibler is an Ambassador

Eric is a real ambassador for the rebreather world. Thanks for all of your hard work.

Pam Radford

I learned a lot from Oceanic Ventures

I really enjoyed my Technical Diver Course and I learned a lot.

Pam Radford

Oceanic Ventures is the best dive shop

Best Dive Shop I've ever used. I've been diving since 1984 and you will not find more talented staff anywhere else. They are small, family owned and service oriented #1. You get personal service from start to finish from people who actually dive all over the world. I've taken simple to advance courses from them and the trainers are excellent. Dive trips are well organized to unique locations and always fun. This type of depth of knowledge is very difficult to find, especially in Texas.

Oceanic Ventures is a great dive shop

Great dive shop with wonderful instructors to share your passion for the underwater world. They have fun for the whole family from kids diving programs through advanced diving. Checkout their scuba diving vacation to some of the best diving in the world. I really like the Diva dive vacation to Grand Cayman.

Charles Franklin

Oceanic Ventures is the best

I have been to many scuba stores in Houston and this one is by far the best. Most scuba stores have a couple of salespersons who will show you one of the 40 types of fins and 10 types of regulators that they have in stock and immediately try to sell these to you. Most of these same stores really cater only to people just getting certified. Oceanic ventures has a very different business model. While they do have an inventory, it is not as large as other stores. The difference is that they really try to foster a dive community. It works. People come back again and again. Further, unlike many stores, they teach just about everything possible. If you want to teach your child how to snorkel, they teach that. If you want to learn how to dive 350 feet down on a rebreather using helium gas mixes and several additional scuba tanks, they teach that. They teach everything in between. Not many stores do that. Additionally, the staff is very knowledgeable about all the equipment they sell. You will never get an "I don't know about that" type of answer.
