SCUBA dive on Lighthouse Point or Castaway Cay?

[wnissen]

Is there any hope of a Disney or independent SCUBA diving excursion on Castaway Cay or Lookout Cay / Lighthouse Point? Even a private charter would be fine, though obviously very expensive. I don't mind wading with my gear into the surf if a pickup was needed and Disney was not allowing access to a pier.

Failing that, is there a place to request excursions or provide feedback? A complete lack of SCUBA in two Caribbean ports is not great. Royal Caribbean / Celebrity and Norwegian Cruise Lines both offer it on their islands.

I'm aware of the snorkeling excursions. It was actually a DCL snorkeling excursion that spurred me to get into SCUBA diving. Thanks.

I don't see Castaway Cay adding scuba diving

You should try Scuba options in Nassau.

Grand Cayman is the spot for scuba diving....one of the best places in the Caribbean.

we just snorkeled from the shore in GC and it was awesome. Literally a 10 minute walk from the tender dropoff.

Snuba might be a better option to Scuba since it does not require a Scuba Diving certification. Scuba is a very very limited market, and that would be a very expensive option with equipment and insurance and staffing. PADI estimates there are 6 to 9 million active scuba divers in the entire world. What is that work out to? Less than 5 people per cruise who are certified divers, and no guarantee all 5 would sign up for a scuba excursion. That math just doesn't work.

PADI certified for 32 years. You'll find that most serious divers stay on-island rather than cruising to scuba. In our younger days, we'd spend an entire week in a great dive location and dive 8-10 times per trip. That is where you are going to find your best diving. We have done scuba excursions while on cruise ships but you won't find it in every port. Cozumel and Grand Cayman are both great scuba locations and we've done DCL excursions in both locations. I'd recommend trying a Western Caribbean cruise if you want to dive while cruising.
