A last-minute change of venue due to surging seas did not dampen enthusiasm or turnout at the annual Women's Dive Day on Saturday.

Women's Dive Day, held each year in Cayman to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation, will see divers searching a West Bay dive site for 'treasure' on Saturday, 19 July.

More than 80 divers braved some surging waves on Saturday to take part in the annual Women's Dive Day at Divetech in West Bay, to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Last week saw the premier of the latest season of BBC Studios' 'Prehistoric Planet' on Apple TV+, including an episode on oceans, featuring CGI footage of long-extinct underwater creatures, as well as some shots of sites that Cayman scuba divers will recognise.

The tenacity and dedication of Cayman's female dive instructors will be honoured at this year's Women's Dive Day when they take part in a challenge to dive, cumulatively among them, a distance of 58 miles - the equivalent to the length of Grand Cayman's coastline.

Reckless watercraft riders are putting lives at risk by ignoring basic marine laws, according to concerned dive operators in Grand Cayman.

Scuba divers in the Cayman Islands are aiming to set a novel new world record by forming the longest female underwater human chain.

It came as a surprise for Divetech owner Jo Mikutowicz when her business received a phone call last week from a man from a very unlikely place, saying that he found a tank on a nearby beach. “We were just shocked it made it all the way to Florida.”
