When the lock down began many business owners were fearful that they were closing their doors for the last time. Today we heard that for Don Foster Diving that this looks to be the case.

I can’t tell you what a special place this is and how much dive history it represents, it’s been an institution here in Cayman for nearly forty years. Not only serving divers but managing a wonderful Marine Park and training centre.

Personally they took me through my first dive on qualifying, first wreck dive, night dive, boat dive, encounter with a shark and my Rescue Diver qualification.

I dived with them almost weekly.

I got my lucky hat there and James his now signature octopus shirt.

Dating back to the days of Calypso and Cousteau this is not just a dive centre it is a local cultural icon, regionally a pioneer of the recreational SCUBA industry and world renowned.

Such a great team of dedicated human beings – just gutted for Sergio Coni and all the team. I hope that there is a way back for them.
