Now Open, Come on Down....

Yes- WE ARE OPEN!!! Let's Go Scuba Diving in the Cayman Islands. Zero quarantine required... arrive at the airport and you'll be starting your vacation on day zero and enjoying your favorite place just like you never left. All visitors to Cayman are required to be fully vaccinated and have taken a Covid-19 PCR test 72 hours prior.  Post arrival, A rapid antigen test (LFT) will be conducted onsite at Compass Point / Ocean Frontiers on Day 2 and Day 5 of your visit (cost is included in all dive and stay packages).  

If your vaccine card has a QR code on it, then the process is slick and quick to get approval to travel. If there is no QR code, you just have to upload it for review by a human, which doesn't take long, but is an extra step.
