We stayed in Shaggy’s condo and ended up doing a snorkel and stingray tour from his boat. He took us out after all the other boats were gone for the day, so there were only 4 of us in the water with the stingrays! It was such an incredible experience. We also did some snorkeling on the inner reef that was almost surreal. Shaggy and his captain Gary made it such a fun time, it felt like being out with friends.
Our trip had to be cut short due to the earthquake, and Shaggy took us out a 2nd time free of charge. Such incredible, personalized service. I highly recommend Shaggy’s diving, and will return to Grand Cayman to dive with Shaggy in the future.

I’ve been to many dive shops over the 8 years I’ve visited the island. Shaggy’s was the most fun I’ve had in a long while. It is definitely more personalized and intimate rather than the big shops that you sometimes feel like another number on the boat.
I’ll be switching to dive with Shaggy and his crew from now on when I travel to the island hands down. I’ve been converted and I’m a big fan now. Also- do the DPV if you’ve never tried it, it’s incredible.

Shaggy's is World Class for instruction and all around fun!! The absolute best in teaching, guest service, personality, and flexibility. If you are reading this, do yourself a favour and get certified with Shaggy's or get on his boat for a day. I began my journey with Shaggy as an open water student and loved it so much I went on to do every course, right through my Dive master and specialties. I had tried before in Mexico and freaked out, never thinking I'd try again but ecstatic that I did, as it forever changed my life. I was taught personally by Shaggy despite considering other options to save some money and he was worth every cent! He was beyond patient and he gave an extended amount of time to teach my dive master and internship, making sure he missed nothing along the way. We did hundreds of emergency drills and navigational dives, boat driving lessons, rope tying lessons, camera and video lessons and so, so, so much more. He is an incredible teacher with a marine biology degree and immense passion for the ocean, for diving, and for sharing his gift with others. I have met many newer instructors and dive masters, and I am immensely proud to say that my knowledge and awareness went far beyond what they had learned with other companies.I owe this confidence and so much more to Shaggy.Thank you with all of my heart for sharing this gift with me, I will cherish it for all of my life.

Shaggy is a great guy and his team were fantastic!
Bio Bay tour is not to be missed, streams of light from your every move in the water…it’s like a special effect in a movie!
The boat ride to and from the bay was so much fun with Nick & Melissa with lots of amazing sunset photo opportunities.
The small personalised tours are so much better than the large groups and honestly great value for your money.
We highly recommend Shaggy and the Bio Bay tour while your in the Cayman’s…..it’s a must do!!

Our second trip diving with Shaggy and his team - always a pleasure. Highly recommend! The weather was a bit off and he moved his boat around to the opposite side of the island to ensure the best experience. We had some newer divers with us and he did great making sure everyone was comfortable. Top notch service.

Shaggy has it going on! He has a great 4 bedroom condo at Coconut Bay. It has a self serve dive shop right across from the pool. Put your gear on and walk down to the stairs that drop you in water, and your diving.
Boat dives are from various docks within a short drive. He picks you up, or you can take your rental car, load your gear, and off you go for a day of diving on his beautiful dive boat.
Shaggy is a fun guy, who loves diving. We were lucky enough to spend 5 days diving with him.
Get an 8 pack together and rent the whole house, or come with your dive buddy and rent just one room in this upscale, hostal like situation. The entire ground floor, all the way through to the patio, which opens on to the pool area, is a big open floor plan with all the amenities including kitchen, dining and sitting areas. Each bedroom has a dedicated bathroom on the second or third floors.
Shaggy, we can't thank you enough for the insane diving, and fantastic living situation. We will be back to see you soon!

I did my advanced open water course with Shaggy. He's a terrific instructor: patient, practical, professional, and very knowledgeable. He's also just an all around genuinely kind and positive person, with a passion for the ocean and marine life. It's clear that he cares deeply about the reef and his divers/customers. He was constantly pointing out sea life and offering helpful tips to make diving more fun. I particularly enjoyed the night dive. It was very easy to do right from shore and the night creatures were amazing. Communication was good and the personalized service was off the charts. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Absolutely first class evening trip to the Bioluminescence bay. The experience itself was amazing and significantly improved by Capt S who provided a great relaxed atmosphere and also was incredibly informative about the phenomenon itself and why it occurs at that particular spot. Could not recommend the trip and experience highly enough. We loved it.

To celebrate my husband's birthday and recent retirement we chartered a half-day trip with Shaggy. It couldn't have been a more perfect time.
Shaggy and Rho took us around the island to Starfish Point and then my husband and daughter snorked on the reef. But the highlight was the stingrays! Shaggy knew when to go where there weren't too many people. It was simply AMAZING!
Shaggy and his crew are some of the friendliest people who work to make your trip memorable. We just can't say enough about great this part of our trip was!

My world is forever changed for the best! Why you ask because I trusted and went with Shaggy and his crew for an incredible diving experience. I began my course online and before I left Cayman I had 7 dives with him and all of it was magical. Shaggy as a teacher is patient, kind, and really knows his diving extensively. Best part is that he loves sharing his knowledge and as a good teacher really makes you understand your material!! I felt safe and well taken care of. Definitely coming back for the diving and the people who make it so special!! A diver and a lover of all things ocean now my world is wider brighter and feel more connected to the ocean and all its wonder! Thanks Shaggy’s crew you ROCK!!!
