Red Sail Sports and the Westin Grand Cayman Add Sizzle and Savings to Summer

Package offers top luxury resort on Seven Mile Beach at a great price; includes $100 resort credit, dive discounts, free Sunset Sail 

The Westin sits on one of the best stretches of Seven Mile Beach renowned for its soft white sand and beautiful turquoise water. The amenities offered by the Westin include of an oversized outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, a spa and several shops and boutiques. The resort features three restaurants that offer casual fare and fine dining with fantastic views of the beach. Guests may choose to use the $100 resort credit that comes with the dive package to enjoy world-class cuisine.

Red Sail Sports dive boats conveniently pull up on the beach for boarding and following their dives, guests step off onto sugar white sand for short walk to their room. With a concierge and dive shop on site Red Sail Sports can take care of all guest requests for island activities and beach watersports. Guests will enjoy a breathtaking Cayman sunset aboard a Red Sail Sports luxury catamaran that pulls up on the beach for easy boarding.

“The Summer Sizzler is a great value dive package that allows divers to enjoy the best of Grand Cayman’s diving – spectacular dive sites, spacious and accommodating boats with the best staff you will find in the Caribbean,” said Red Sail Sports Operations Manager Rod McDowall.

Cayman is a world-class dive destination that has attracted scuba divers since the very early days of diving. Amazing wall dives, beautiful coral reefs, warm water and great visibility that often reaches 100 feet, keep bringing divers back, so it is no surprise that the Cayman Islands has been voted2015 #1 Overall Dive Destination in the Caribbean/Atlantic.

Red Sail Sports takes divers to the famed North Wall that plunges dramatically down to 6000 feet, and where eagle rays and sea turtles are often spotted. Many of the island’s most famous dive sites are a short boat ride from the beach on Grand Cayman’s West side. The Summer Sizzler dive package also includes a dive on the USS Kittiwake, a purpose-sunk wreck that sits on a sandy bottom in 65 feet of water off Seven Mile Beach. This amazing artificial reef is one of Grand Cayman’s most popular and most photographed dive sites. Experienced divers can explore the wreck’s interior rooms, while novices and snorkelers can check out the exterior.

Red Sail Sports is known for its outstanding customer service from dive shops to dive boats. Red Sail Sports has been offering services on Grand Cayman for 27 years and it operates facilities at resorts along Seven Mile Beach, Rum Point and East End. A look at comments posted last month on TripAdvisor, a travel website confirms it.

Balitraveller53 posted: “Excellent all around! The guides were excellent, the hire equipment was excellent, the boat was great, the service was first class - and it's just an all round very professional set up with a huge amount of experience. I would definitely use Red Sail again - felt really confident from start to finish and that's what counts.”

Repeat customer John Probeck wrote: “I go back every year and ALWAYS dive with this group. Fun, Talented, Safe, Educated barely scratch the surface of what characterizes this organization. You would think that diving every day would become blasé but the dive team is always just as excited to see a random eagle ray or green moray as the folks down for just a week or two. I can't say enough good things about them. I usually stay at the Westin and Aga who runs the dive shop is an absolute gem who will take awesome care of you.”

Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman Introduces Combo Courses: 2 Certifications in 3 Days

New divers who want a quick start on their dive training while on vacation in the Cayman Islands, or certified divers looking to sharpen scuba skills, will find a ready solution in 2014 with Red Sail Sports. To meet demand for saturated and immersed training programs, Grand Cayman’s leading resort dive operator is introducing 3-day courses that combine PADI Open Water Certification with two specialties: Enriched Air Nitrox and Peak Performance Buoyancy. Also added to the dive training program for certified divers is an Advanced Diver/Nitrox Combination course that can be done in two days.

“We know our guest’s time on Grand Cayman is limited and they want to make the most of it, so Red Sail Sports is being creative and accommodating. Our extensive dive training program and resources allows us to do this,” said Operations Manager Rod McDowall.  “We want our new divers to enjoy a great experience in the island’s warm, clear water, and this will keep them coming back. That’s good for business.”

The Enriched Air Diver course is reportedly PADI’s most popular specialty course - Nitrox allows a diver to safely dive more often and for a longer period of time. McDowall says demand for Nitrox is a big motivation for adding the combo courses, and as is the wide use of dive computers, which allow divers to accurately track dive profiles.  Both the Nitrox and Peak Performance Buoyancy specialties are easy to integrate with the open water certification in Red Sail Sports’ extensive dive training program.

The three combination courses require online theory work with PADI in advance of the trip.  Once on Grand Cayman students undergo a quick eLearner review and then do three days of in-water training with Red Sail Sports, both from shore and from the dive boats, to complete their certification. To add a Nitrox specialty, the student is taught the basics of enriched air diving during the morning two-tank boat trip, and then does last open water checkout dive on Nitrox. An afternoon Nitrox classroom session is then done to complete the specialty certification.

Red Sail Sports has certified an estimated 50,000 divers on Grand Cayman through its extensive dive training program and island-wide locations over the past 25 years. Dive Supervisor Clive Webb says the most popular courses are Open Water Certification, Advanced Diver and Nitrox.

“Last year we certified 11 Nitrox divers, and so far this year we have already certified 51, so 2014 looks exciting,” says Webb, adding that resident divers take advantage of living in a top dive destination. “Our courses for local residents have gone through the roof! Most Open Water classes are full, and we’ve had to add extras - our prices are so good that we have a constant stream of residents going through scuba training.”

“The Advanced and Nitrox combo course provided an extremely efficient way for me to complete two certifications in just one weekend,” said island resident Carrie Van Lier. “Not only did I save time and money, but I found that they complimented each other perfectly at my current level of diving education.”

The Open Water/Nitrox combo course is US $575; the Open Water/ Peak Performance Buoyancy combo course is US $550. Both fees include all equipment use, manuals, instruction and boat diving. A fee of US $138 must be paid directly to PADI for online theory work done before arrival in Grand Cayman. The Advanced/Nitrox e-learner course is US $475, and a US $130 fee must be paid directly to PADI for the e-learning portion.

Red Sail Sports operates full-service dive and watersports shops across Grand Cayman. Also available are glass-bottom boat trips to the Stingray Sandbar, Catamaran snorkel trips, sunset sails and dinner sails, and all the beach sports that include windsurfing, kayaking and more.
