Scuba Diving Cayman Islands Photos By Monte Lee Thornton  Cayman IslandsWhy PADI Drift Diver?

Drift Diving is effortless and relaxing because you simply glide with the current and feel the rush of flying Underwater. But, with this type of diving come special procedures that you need to know so you can maximize your fun Underwater.

What do I need to start?

  • Minimum age: 12 years old

What will I do?

During your PADI Drift Diver certification course, you'll learn about drift dive planning, organization, techniques and potential hazards, as well as special equipment and procedures like buoyancy. But it's not all theory because you'll go on two open water dives where you can put your new knowledge into action.

How long will it take?

  • Recommended Course Hours: 12
  • Minimum Open Water Training: as little as one day

Monte, Irene, Jessica, and Alec

Our 10 year old son Alec, who loves movies, especially the Disney productions of Pirates of the Caribbean, was facinated when we showed him the hull of an old shipwreck at 35 feet, at the Eden Rock dive site. It had been uncovered due to the waves of Ivan. Irene pointed out a Cleaner Shrimp hiding in the wreckage to Alec, and later explained to him that it is now a cleaning station for fish. After that experience Alec determined that it was in fact an old pirate shipwreck, and who are we to correct a ten year old. Afterall they know more than the parents, right?
