Divetech Enters New Phase in Dive Travel and Service to Grand Cayman
New headquarters, new website, new toll free number, new reservations department, new on-island partners…
Divetech is ready for the 2016 season
Divetech, one of Grand Cayman’s premier dive operators, is moving its headquarters to their Lighthouse Point dive shop, home of the Guardian of the Reef. At the same time, Divetech is launching a dedicated dive travel department as part of a 2016 expansion plan to accommodate growth, development and customer demand. The company is partnering with a number of hotels, condos and bed & breakfasts on the island to offer more package choices for divers this coming year. The plan also includes ending Divetech’s relationship with Cobalt Coast and closing its dive shop there on December 1st after 15 years.
Divetech is building a sea pool at its facilities at Lighthouse Point in West Bay.
“We’ve enjoyed our partnership at Cobalt Coast but for some time, our customers have asked for other properties on the island, and we’ve listened to them,” said owner Nancy Easterbrook. “To all of our customers, we want to let them know to contact us directly for their diving, but they can also now book dive and room packages with us.”
The company is hiring additional staff for its reservations department and introducing new software to make bookings more efficient. Divetech has also launched a new website (www.divetech.com) which includes some of the dive packages and services, plus a new toll free number 1 877-946-56581 877-946-5658 FREE.
Divetech’s 2016 dive packages include rooms, diving, and unlimited shore diving, with options for breakfast, meals, airport transfers and concierge services. Quotes for individuals & groups will be provided with the same Divetech attention to detail and commitment to excellent dive service.
Divetech is located on on Grand Cayman’s Northwest Point, where some of the island’s best dive sites are located. All the company’s dive packages include unlimited shore diving. Lighthouse Point is also the home of the Guardian of the Reef, an underwater sculpture sunk in shallow water off the dive shop.
“We want to be a one-stop shop for both industry travel professionals and consumers,” says Easterbrook. “Divetech is going into this whole-heartedly and we’re serious about providing excellent travel services, as we have done with diving for more than 20 years. This is the natural next step for us and we are excited! We value our relationships with our travel partners, dive shops and Wholesalers, and will continue to offer customers their choice on how to book their diving vacation. Divers wishing to stay at alternative hotels or condos are welcome, as always of course. Complimentary shuttle service is available for boat diving, and now for shore and night diving too.”
Divetech’s headquarters will include a new 75 foot x 30 foot sea pool now being built at Lighthouse Point and opening Dec 1st. This will introduce a new level of dive training adventures and the pool will be open to all Divetech divers. The sea pool is ocean fed, and will be a unique one-of-a-kind training pool for diving, providing calm waters and access to the incredible shore diving off Divetech’s Lighthouse Point ocean front condos.

Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
