'Scuba New York'

Ten student divers came down to Grand cayman from New York to complete their Open Water diver training with Cayman Diving College / Divers Down. The group was made up of 3 families with ages ranging from 12 to 50. The guys had a fantastic experience and all gained their full certification. The Group continued their " Cayman experience " with visits to Stingray City and various dive trips that we have on offer here at Divers Down. The guys are pictured above with their instructors Rob Hedges and Emily Petley-Jones.
