Ash and his crew were as good as it gets, we did 24 amazing dives over 8 days and and all ways knew we were in good hands. they would pick us up in front of our hotel on time and ready to go diving. his boat is comfortable safe dive platform with plenty of room to move around. as well as being an excellent instructor and guide Ash is a darn good chef. if your looking to do some diving while in Grand Cayman you could pick a better scuba team. it was a real pleasure the time went to fast and we look forward to going back.

The diving experience was amazing. I did my Open Water Diver course so I have never dived before but I thoroughly enjoyed it and the crew were very welcoming. After my course I even went back and did my first dive with Ash at the famous walls and it was beautiful. I highly recommend Ash and his crew. Very welcoming and if you don’t get a skill or cannot do something, they will keep helping and there is no pressure on you.

Did my 6 week divemaster to instructors with them in February 16, and found it fun, professional and met some great people. Would highly recommend this operation for all your scuba diving needs on Grand cayman ;)

I arrived on the island with nothing but uncertainty and home sickness... thinking how will I ever leave my family and job behind for 6 weeks. But Ash and Vinod did their best to keep me reassured and focused on the big picture - getting PADI OWSI certified. Weeks went on and things got better and better for me; I was learning so much during the 4 week DM internship, diving everyday and gaining hands on experience. Then the IDC started and I got to meet new friends from all over the globe, whom I still stay in touch with. You can tell that Ash has been doing this for a long time because everyone felt confident and prepared for the Instructor Exams. By the end of my trip, I was sad to leave but I came home with what I wanted, being a PADI Instructor!
Highly recommend. Cayman is a great island, so much to offer. Well structured program. Great Staff. Good accommodations. If you are nice, Ash might by ya a beer or two
Thanks again Ash and Vinod, you guys changed my life forever. -Chris
ps. do your Elearning before you arrive on the island. and have your inflatable SMB!

This is a photo of my 10 year-old daughter making the transition from PADI Seal Team to Junior Open Water Diver in Grand Cayman last week.
I am a PADI instructor and my husband holds a DM certification, but we left her skills to another instructor (Lane Peter- Go Pro Diving) while at home and used a referral to finish up in Grand Cayman’s crystal clear water. Not involving ourselves in her training was the best decision we ever made and her Seal course made the leap to JOW super easy for her.
Ash and his team were super professional and very flexible. We love them! They picked us up at our condo for our dives which is very nice! They kept our gear and made sure everything was washed and ready to go! They limit the number of divers to 6 per trip! very nice!
Any fears our daughter had about salt water diving and underwater critters are now gone. She is pumped for our next vacation, and we are pumped to have another buddy.

Two part review here -
Ash at Go Pro has lots of surf boards available at seemingly reasonable prices! He was super nice - I called to ask if he also gave lessons and when he said no, he referred me to his buddy Sean. 5 stars for Ash.
Meanwhile, Sean was just terrific. He actually picked up the board from Ash, and picked me up, and took me a few miles south to the South Sound - where the surf is apparently best for beginners. He was patient and knowledgable, as well as generous with his time. He is passionate about surfing and is excited to share that with others - was a great afternoon! 5(+) stars for Sean, too!

Ash and Larry were patient and passionate instructors who helped us gain our open water qualifications, we can't recommend them more highly. We will definitely be back!

Can't say enough about Ash and GoPro Cayman. I did my IDC with Ash, Spike (staff instructor and IYT instructor) and 7 other students. Ash will prepare you not to just pass the IE but to become a great instructor. His course is challenging but more importantly fun!
Everyone in the class passed the IE with flying colors and better yet got jobs in the Caymans within a few days after the course. Ash helped me with my resume and drove me to multiple dive shops around town to drop it off. He has connections all over the islands. In fact just about every dive op I walk into, Ash has taught at least one of their instructors.
I also stayed at the student apartments which are clean, convenient and affordable. Ash will pick and drop you off everyday to and from class. I highly recommend staying there if you are doing your IDC or divemaster.
After the IDC I took the STCW95 boat safety class with GoPro. This may have been the most enjoyable course I have taken. Lot's of hands on training that will teach you about sea survival, fire fighting and CPR/First Aid.
All in all I had a ton of fun taking Ash's classes, met some good friends, was challenged and learned a lot. You can't go wrong with Go Pro Cayman.

If you ever wanted to become a dive professional, this is the place to do it! You have very experienced and knowledgeable staff who are there to assist you through any setback that you may have! They go through every program with PADI very thoroughly! Top notch IDC Center! Ash wasn't joking when he said " Once your an instructor, it's a passport to see the world". I always will remember that. Thank you everyone at Go Pro Cayman!!
