Kids Scuba Programmes

Grand Cayman is arguably one of the best family friendly destinations in the Caribbean with its warm weather, large white sand beaches and crystal clear water - the perfect playground for any family. Red Sail Sports is on-hand to help make that family vacation a memorable one offering dive activities for everyone -even the kiddos who have never taken a breath underwater!

Red Sail Sports offer two programmes that are the perfect introduction for kids into the world of scuba diving, and once they've tried it they'll want to learn more! SASY (Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youth) is the perfect way to give younger kids the experience of snorkeling with scuba equipment in a safe environment. Their first session will be in the pool with a Red Sail Sports instructor, and then after that they can venture into the sea and snorkel the shallow reefs supervised.

For older kids, 8-10, the PADI Bubblemaker course is an introduction to breathing underwater with scuba equipment. Under the supervision of a Red Sail Sports Instructor, kids will learn the basics of the kiddy-size scuba equipment they'll be using, be able to take their first breath underwater and play games in the pool. Have a look at the video below to see the PADI Bubblemaker program in action.

Both the SASY and Bubblemaker kids programs are available at all Red Sail Sports dive locations throughout Grand Cayman. Ask us about Kids Scuba programmes today!

Visiting the Stingrays in Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is home to the famous Stingray City (dive site) and Stingray City Sandbar (snorkel site). Everyday we take visitors out to the North Sound to visit our friendly Southern Stingrays. At the shallow sandbar our guests can stand, snorkel, pet and play with these lovable rays. A visit to Stingray City is a MUST DO on a Cayman vacation.

Here is a list of all the Red Sail Sports Stingray City Sandbar excursions:
Breakfast with the Rays
Stingray Sandbar and Reef Sail
Stingray Sandbar and Rum Point Tour

Kiss a ray for seven years good luck!

For the diver, the original Stingray City dive site is the place to be. Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday we take divers out to this shallow 12 ft site. Enticed by some squid from the divemaster, the Stingrays quickly appear and surround the divers sitting on the sandy bottom. A great up close and personal interaction with these magnificent creatures!

Ryan's Incredible Push Across America

Welcome to Red Sail Sports new Cayman dive blog. Each week we'll bring you the latest from beyond the reefs and wrecks of the Cayman Islands! 

This week we have been following the conclusion of Ryan Chalmer's epic Push Across America. For 71 days he pushed the equivalent of two marathon's everyday in his racing wheelchair. Ryan pushed from LA to New York through 16 states, 4 timezone and across some of the toughest terrain. His amazing feat of endurance was to raise awareness of the Stay-Focused organization for which he is a mentor. Stay-Focused helps teens and young adults with disabilities through scuba diving certification programs here in Grand Cayman. Red Sail Sports has been a supporter of the organisation for years and has welcomed many awesome teens on board our dive boat - including Ryan (find out more by watching this video).

On Saturday June 15, Ryan reached the conclusion of his Push Across America (right on schedule) rolling into Central Park around 9:30am. WELL DONE RYAN!

3300 miles in 71 days - amazing!
