 That's the new Caymen Island slogan and it completly fits the bill for us divers!  Isn't that one of the draws of scuba diving?   Awe.  Do you remember the first few times you went diving? 

The pure amazement of the fish, the colors, the different shapes and textures.... 

"Awe"  that is the perfect word for it.

Newest Victoria's Secret Model gets Certified!

Yes, it's true!  The newest beauty to the Victoria Secret Angels, Kylie Bisutti, became PADI Open Water certified within the last 12 months!  Ms. Bisutti is 19 years old and learned to dive during a family vacation in the Dominican Republic. 

What does she have to say about our sport?

"I absolutely love the different types of fish you get to experience underwater at different depths.  the feeling of being underwater swimming with turtles in indescribable."

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm booking the next flight out to the Dominican Republic!  Want to join me?

Scuba for Kids!

Do you have small children that are envious that you dive?  Give them the opportunity to learn to Scuba with a Sassy Class!  Most resorts with Dive Shops offer this and the kids LOVE IT!  Sassy teaches them some scuba safety tips and gets them used to breathing with a regulator.  If you're a diver, then I know you want to dive with your children once they are old enough (PADI requires minimum of 10 years of age) and there's no better way to get them hooked than with a Sassy course on your next vacation!
