MASS Diving's #1 Rated Dive Center on Seven Mile Beach!

Located on the south end of Seven Mile Beach, our shop provides numerous facilities for our guests. Our location is one of the best on Grand Cayman. And, we're the only Dive Shop with a dock on Seven Mile Beach. We're only two minutes walk from several nearby condominiums and the Seven Mile Shopping Center. The shopping center has a dive retail store, drug store, souvenirs, coffee shop, restaurants and several bars. We're the only dock on Seven Mile Beach and this provides easy access to both the West and South Walls. Naturally, the beautiful beach awaits for you to relax. We also offer more . . . 

Never Touch Your Gear Again 
While diving with us, you'll never have to touch your gear! Just check in at the dive shop and they'll give you a numbered bag. Then we'll see that it is on the boat when you're ready to go diving, and, we'll take it back to the shop after your dive and rinse your gear!

Diving and equipment 
Available for the last minute purchase before boarding our boats, maybe a full set of gear or just some suntan lotion and a tee shirt.

Full rental and repair facilities 
Modern rental B/C's, regulators, masks, fins -- basically anything you may need.

Our
Charter Boats

This is where Treasure Island Divers really shine! Rated by consumers in Rodale's Scuba Diving magazine as one of the top ten dive boats in the world, our boats take you to all of the Grand Cayman walls as well as the spectacular shallower sites. Hard and soft corals, prolific fish life, fantastic underwater formations, sponges and fans all await your enjoyment. 

Our knowledgeable and experienced captains run the boats for your morning, afternoon and night dive trips. The dive sites are selected by the divers leaving the dock, so any particular site that you wish to dive -- you simply make that request. On the way to the site, one of the divemasters will come around and ask you if you would like to go on a "guided" or "unguided" dive. If you have a computer, and want to extend your bottom time, we'll be happy to be your buddy -- or we can link you up with another computer diver.

MORNING AND AFTERNOON BOAT DIVES
ARE SCHEDULED AS TWO-TANK DIVES! 

All morning dives leave the dock at 8:00 a.m. to insure that you get the really great sites "first". These trips are two-tank dives -- with profiles set at a maximum depth of normally 100 feet for the first dive, and 50 feet for the second. 

The afternoon boats leave at 1:30 p.m. These are also two-tank trips. The profiles are normally both set with a maximum depth of 50 to 60 feet. 

Stingray City is unique to Grand Cayman and should be an integral part of every Cayman trip. Here you can hand feed a group of friendly Southern Stingrays and visit "Bruce" a friendly green moray eel. Only in twelve feet of water, this trip is a must for both divers and snorkelers. 

Our fleet of dive craft have been classed by our guests as the best on the Island. The three custom built, forty-five foot long, dive boats are not only large and roomy enough to accommodate an individual diver or large charter group, but can also do so in absolute comfort.
