Diving at Compass Point

Compass Point’s partner dive centre, Ocean Frontiers, caters only to this resort’s guests, and offers scuba diving, snorkelling, and watersports for all. The dive centre has some of Grand Cayman’s best diving right at its doorstep, with the island’s legendary corals, canyons and sand chutes just minutes offshore. These formations lead to the island’s outer reef, where near-vertical walls plummet to almost 2,000 metres. This well-established operator specialises in concierge service, so no need to carry or wash your equipment. Instead, guests can simply roll out of bed and onto the dive boat, with everything already prepared for up to five stunning dives per day.

Ocean Frontiers prides itself on top-notch facilities for students and leisure divers alike, including private gear lockers, a dedicated training pool and air-conditioned classrooms, and three of the island’s most modern boats. Their passionate and professional team offers PADI courses and underwater guiding for divers of all abilities, combined with professional-quality rental gear, and speciality experiences like lionfish hunting, shark, wreck, and macro diving - meaning you’re guaranteed the scuba holiday of a lifetime.

Conservation

Compass Point Dive Resort is a proud Green Globe certified hotel that supports several island-wide environmental efforts, many of which begin on-site. Current initiatives include a comprehensive recycling programme for aluminium, glass, and PET plastics with collection points in every condo and throughout the property’s common areas. Compass Point is also dedicated to water and energy conservation, asking guests to be mindful of their personal use and installing environmentally-friendly fixtures and appliances wherever possible.

Grand Cayman’s surrounding coral reef ecosystem is under threat, but Compass Point is doing its part to protect it. The resort’s restaurant serves only sustainable seafood, and guests are asked to make responsible choices when dining off-property. The resort also maintains a strict “no touch, no take” policy above and below water and offers detailed environmental briefings before outdoor activities.
