A BRIEF HISTORY

On April Fool's day of 1996 Divers Down was established by two friends Steve Surrey and Andy Porter who met whilst working at Bob Soto's as dive instructors. Their vision was to own their own company where there would be a maximum of eight divers on the boat so that each guest would receive the attention they deserved.

Their way of thinking proved popular and through hard work, tons of experience, friendly personalized service and a lot of repeat custom over the years Divers Down now boasts a fleet of six dive boats and numerous members of staff.In some ways the company has expanded enormously, however, the basic philosophy has remained the same; still only eight divers on a boat, two tank dives both morning and afternoon and a service which is always professional and friendly.

In January of 2006 Divers Down opened a dedicated training division called Cayman Diving College , which recently was awarded the prestigious rating of a PADI Five Star Gold Palm Instructor Development Centre. All levels of dive education are offered including introductory Resort Courses for the first time diver to the professional training of future PADI dive instructors.

Cayman Diver Limited is the sister company of Divers Down and is the exclusive dive/snorkel operator at the luxury timeshare property of the Grand Caymanian Resort. Guests of the resort can experience the same exceptional service with the added convenience of having a dive shop conveniently located on the premises.
