Hurricane Guarantee (Revised May 2025)

Ocean Frontiers and Compass Point Dive Resort, as part of our commitment to total guest satisfaction offers you our Hurricane Guarantee to put your mind at ease so you can go ahead and plan your visit with us.

Whilst the Cayman Islands are officially in the Hurricane Belt, the risk of your particular vacation at your particular time of year actually being disrupted by a hurricane is statistically low (the weather channel has a lot to answer for!), so don’t let the dates of the official hurricane season deter you from planning your visit.

Atlantic Hurricane Season June 1st to November 30th

These are the dates of the "official hurricane season” but it is also often one of the calmest, most tranquil seasons of the whole year. The persistent high weather patterns that help spawn the occasional Atlantic and Caribbean hurricanes otherwise bring weeks on end of light, balmy southeasterly breezes, calm seas, and excellent diving and snorkeling conditions.

HURRICANE GUARANTEE CANCELLATION POLICY FOR DIVE & STAY PACKAGES

Guests unable to travel due to the issuance of a hurricane alert, watch or warning, either at your home airport or at Grand Cayman, will have the option to reschedule their stay. You can select new dates at the time of cancellation, based on availability, or we can issue a credit note for the full package value that can be applied to a future trip that you plan later. Credit notes do not expire.

VACATION DISRUPTION FOR DIVE & STAY PACKAGES

In the unlikely event that a hurricane alert, watch or warning is issued while you are a guest at Compass Point, you can check out and leave the island early. We will issue a credit note for any unused portions of your package. The credit note value can be used towards a future reservation and does not expire.

A LA CARTE DIVING, DIVING PACKAGES & SNORKEL TRIPS

In the event any diving or snorkeling excursions are affected by the issuance of a hurricane alert, watch or warning, you will receive a full refund on any missed diving or snorkeling.

SCUBA INSTRUCTION

In the event any scheduled course is affected by the issuance of a hurricane alert, watch or warning, you will receive a full refund of any missed course, minus the value for any elearning accessed.
