Rare OrcaGirl Posted December 5, 2016 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hey everyone, I'm thinking of booking the "Discover Scuba Diving" excursion while in Grand Cayman. We're sailing on the Celebrity Reflection -- does anyone know which local dive shop Celebrity contracts through? Any first-hand reviews on the excursion would be greatly appreciated too! Cheers, Erin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugs93 Posted December 5, 2016 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I am pretty sure that Celebrity uses Red Sail. We were in Grand Cayman in November and used Divers Down. I was happy with Divers Down, but we are a advanced open water certified with various specialties so I am not sure how their discover scuba program is. If you can, I would recommend that you get certified for open water with a local dive shop because it is generally less expensive than doing a discover scuba and then getting certified.

Rare BillOh Posted December 5, 2016 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2016 FWIW, Royal used Don Foster's for their intro course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted December 6, 2016 #4 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) dunno what the cruise line charges but it is pretty easy to book a Discovery at Eden Rock or Sunset House yourself for around $110 (US) per person. Eden Rock is a short walk from the cruise terminals ... Sunset House a little farther ... about 1/2 mile. I booked Discovery Dives for DD and DIL with Sunset House and went along with them .... absolutely no complaints. If they were full I'd have no issues with Eden, I just prefer Sunset House http://www.edenrockdive.com/instruction.html http://www.sunsethouse.com/ Sunset does not list discovery in their shopping list but they do it ... just contact the hotel and ask them to have the drive shop contact you (e-mail) ... this is what I did and everything was quickly arranged. It ended up a private class btw ... my 2 girls and me with an instructor. (I'm certified but went as chaperone and used it as a 'refresher') Edited December 6, 2016 by Capt_BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
