Reef Divers II - Cayman Brac

Located at the Cayman Brac Beach Resort, Reef Divers II has been part of the family-run Clearly Cayman Dive Resorts since 1978. The centre is designed specifically for divers, providing a streamlined transition from the resort to the water. After a major renovation in 2015, the facilities offer a comfortable base for those looking to explore the unique topography of the Cayman Islands.

The operation is built around the convenience of its location, with the resort providing accommodation, meals, and easy access to the dive centre. Whether you are looking for a relaxed day of reef exploration or a more technical excursion to nearby islands, the setup is geared towards providing a professional, organised service.

The team is led by a highly qualified staff, including PADI Instructor Trainers, ensuring a high standard of instruction and safety across all levels. With 11 instructors on hand, the centre is well-equipped to handle everything from introductory dives to advanced professional training. The staff are fluent in English and Spanish, catering to a wide range of international divers.

Safety is a core component of the operation, with emergency oxygen, a defibrillator, and first aid equipment readily available. The team manages all the logistical details, including equipment maintenance and cylinder changes, allowing you to focus entirely on your dives.

Reef Divers II offers a comprehensive range of PADI courses, catering to every stage of a diver's progression. Beginners can start with the Open Water Diver certification, while those looking to advance can pursue the Advanced Open Water Diver or Divemaster programmes. The centre also boasts the high-level expertise of PADI Instructor Trainers on staff.

Training is available for a variety of specialties, and the centre is equipped to support divers moving into more advanced territory. The professional training environment is ideal for those looking to turn their passion into a career or simply refine their skills in the water.

The fleet consists of four custom-built Newton boats, measuring between 42 and 46 feet in length. These vessels are designed to carry up to 20 divers comfortably, featuring both shaded and sunbathing areas. Each boat is powered by reliable Caterpillar, John Deere, or Yanmar engines and is equipped with essential safety gear, including VHF radios, mobile phones, and an emergency recall system.

On board, you will find amenities designed for comfort during the dive day, including a freshwater shower, toilets, and a padded table specifically for camera divers. The boats are also equipped with a safety line with a regulator and diving ladders for easy access. To keep you refreshed between dives, the crew provides water, snacks, and towels.

The shore-based facilities are designed to make kit management effortless. The centre provides dedicated rinsing stations, including separate basins for camera equipment and wetsuits, alongside a drying room to keep your gear ready for the next day. They also offer a valet-style service where they take care of equipment transport and maintenance.

For those choosing to hire, the centre stocks new SCUBAPRO equipment. The facility is well-equipped to support various diving styles, and the technical requirements of the centre include rebreather support and emergency oxygen availability.

The diving around Cayman Brac is characterised by generally calm conditions, with most sites being largely without current. This makes the area particularly suitable for novice divers and underwater photographers seeking stable environments for their shots.

Night diving is also a regular part of the centre's schedule, allowing you to experience the reef as the nocturnal inhabitants emerge.
