Amazing Kittiwake Dive – Fantastic Crew & Wow Experience

My husband and I returned to Red Sail Sports for the fourth time, and once again had an AMAZING experience. The entire crew is super friendly, fun, and incredibly helpful. They really make you feel taken care of from start to finish. A special shoutout to Pablo, who was both our guide and boat captain. He was fantastic, professional, calm, and clearly very experienced. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured the whole trip ran smoothly, while still keeping things relaxed and super fun. My highlight was definitely the Kittiwake. At one point, we swam through a narrow passage and suddenly… boom… the entire ship opened up right in front of us. It was such a wow moment, going from a tight space to this massive wreck all at once. It felt like the ship was looming over us because of the way it sits tilted. Super cool! The wreck, with all the marine life, looked epic on camera. Highly recommend Red Sail Sports for anyone diving in Grand Cayman. We will definitely be back again!

Diving with red sail is a dream

We stayed at the colonial club and red sail had daily shuttle service to and from our condo. Super convenient and professional ! They also switched our bc/regs to the new tanks in between dives. Red sail also offers tons of courses from open water to rescue! Highly recommend! Highly recommend orange canyon is grand cayman

Red Sail Caymen Islands definitely worth considering for a sailing experience

Really enjoyed our snorkeling trip to the Kittiwake and the reef. Also did their sunset sail that included a stop at Stingray City. Both trips were definitely worth experiencing. Red Sail's boats are clean, and crew members are very friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable.

Best snorkel trip yet

Best snorkel trip I've done - both in the Caymans and full stop. The shipwreck was amazing and they give you a good amount of time to explore it. There were so many fish!!!

Great scuba diving experience, would recommend!

The staff were awesome, very professional and helpful. We were well taken care of and felt very safe the whole time. The equipment was good and the boat was clean. We were a little disappointed in the variety of animals we saw but that can’t be predicted.

Skip this for snorkeling

We were 5 in a group of 10 snorkeling the kittiwake & boggy sands. We're rating this average not because of the crew or because the boat had steering problems, but because the snorkeling is honestly, below average in comparison to the rest of what we did in Cayman- could be due to conditions. But, honestly, the kittiwake had a really strong current & you were dropped off & had to swim back---not to mention there's not a lot to see other than a murky boat outline & some fish, though not a lot of fish & certainly no more than you see on the reef. Boggy sands was ok, again aquarium & the barrier reef in the bay were better, much more living "plant" like coral & color, similar number of fish maybe....of course we had calm days with excellent visibility at aquarium & barrier reef

Good experience even with not best views of Kittiwake

Overall a good experience. The crew on the boat was friendly and helpful. The detractor is you really can’t see much of the Kittiwake when snorkeling. It was cloudy and too deep. When we moved to the reef fish were plentiful and only 8 feet deep, which was great. We picked this trip for the overall experience- being on a boat and multiple snorkeling spots and definitely accomplished this goal. Expectations from other reviews about the wreck itself were accurate as noted. We still would recommend.

Snorkeling is great. Staff is rude

The USS Kittiwake and reef snorkeling is really cool. Lots of amazing fish. Really great reef snorkeling! The catamaran is clean. Seats are NOT as plentiful as the number of people. Staff is rude. Summer ignored me for a full 5 minutes whilst handing other people who came up after me the waiver to sign. Later after snorkeling, a guy came around asking if we wanted drinks. Ordered a ginger ale was told $3.00 gave him a $10 and never got my change.
