Comments Indigo Divers, Grand Cayman, run an excellent dive operation. Owner/operators Chris and Kate Alpers strive to meet all customers needs. Dive boats are sleek, fast to the site, and comfortable. 6 divers max., no cattle cars here. The service is personal and high level. Attention to detail is quite evident.

Chris mans the still shots, and Kate provides underwater videography services. We had a video made of one of our dives with them, what a treasure! it brings back such good memories when the snow is flying and the gear is in the basement. Check out this months October 2011 edition of Sport Diver magazine, Inside cover; Indigo/Chris Alpers photo shot at Eden Rock was selected as the photo backdrop platform for the Cayman Dive 365 Program for its worldwide promotional campaign.

In the early days we split booked with several operators until we found Indigo. We now book exclusively with them, for all of our diving needs when in the Caymans. They are fun loving people, but always looking out for you on the dives.

We met them as a result of a review on-line several years ago; we hope this is helpful to those looking to book dive services in Grand Cayman in the near future.
