Scuba Diving the Kittiwake in Grand Cayman 2019

[@gman3fish]

Been there, dove that!!! Several times actually! Wonderful site!

[@stevedavidmusic]

Did 6 days of diving with DiveTech in Grand Cayman because of your recommendations which I highly trust since you clearly do a lot of vetting and have high standards for things. They were great, thanks for this video!

We dove this in April of 2019 with Pirate Divers! Such a wonderful dive. Loved learning about this ships history and just exploring the wreck.

[@SummersideDiver]

Thanks for a great episode! I’ll be doing a cruise dive excursion in March, hopefully this will be part of that journey.

Cool to see DiveTech featured - I've done several weeks of training with them and found them to be a great outfit. Got to meet Menno although I didn't get to dive with him. Did my wreck cert on the Kittiwake with Serena several years ago and got an inside-the-ship tour with Tony on my last trip there. Definitely a not-to-be-missed dive.

Oh, ha! Ignore my other reply to your comment on specialties! I see you've watched the Dive Tech stuff! Thanks Jon! James

[@Findingmenno]

Nice video buddy! It was a pleasure hosting you and looking forward to our next adventure together! Glad we could show you the Kittiwake. It is a fun dive for both first timers and experienced rust lovers like yourself. It is big enough to be a proper wreck, but compact enough to cover most of it in one dive. With the interior cleaned of obstacles and natural light everywhere it is a great first wreck dive!

[@DiversReady]

Buddy, you made Grand Cayman for me! Thanks so much for everything!

[@freule]

Thanks to this video I just returned from Grand Cayman and had one of the best weeks of my scuba diver life! Thanks for the tip, and I second the DiveTech ref, they are great!

[@daveconneronline]

Love this video! I keep coming back to it to watch again! Thanks for posting James!!!

[@DiversReady]

Thanks for watching!

[@KEECHYGAMING]

Would be interested to see a video on how you travel and pack for a scuba trip away

[@DiversReady]

...wouldn't ya know it, I have that video coming up! Thanks Biker Tom!

[@mikeramsey9747]

I dove the Kittiwake this past April and it was a fantastic experience that everyone visiting the Grand Caymans should make.

[@DiversReady]

Thanks for watching, Mike! James

[@Brandons1981]

Thanks!

[@DiversReady]

No problem!

[@skzion2]

I will be diving this wreck in about a month. One thing I'm puzzled by: divers doing penetration without a reel. I was taught that I should always lay line in a penetration dive.

[@bigmikc]

James just picked up my first piece of equipment. Scubapro gorilla mask. Tried a bunch of different masks and this gave me the best for. Low profile and checked all the boxes for me. Really pumped.

Looking good

[@Fronabarger1]

Awesome 👍 I want to dive that wreck

[@Cobalt_View]

The Kittywake was my very first dive as a certified diver and I've managed to go back and dive it again. Such a great dive.

[@myoceanadventure3367]

More videos like this please!

[@DiversReady]

Thanks Will! I have a video on the S. S. Sapona coming up next month. Dive safe, James

[@kevindavison6019]

I wish I'd found your channel sooner I was actually in Grand Cayman and dove the Kittiwake the week this video was posted. That dive was my favorite dive so far. The wreck is well prepared so it is not intimidating. Not so much a wreck dive as a series of swim throughs, and shallow enough to allow for a reasonably long dive.

[@DiversReady]

Let's have your Scuba diving Bucket list items, please! 👇🏼👌🏼

[@MatteLson66]

That would be a veeery long list... Um el Faroud, Malta. Elphinstone, Red Sea. Raja Ampat, Sipadan... The list goes on..

[@peakecentral]

Gotta be Scapa Flow!

[@lawrencedanyluk797]

Hi there.. I was going to be diving this wreck in november on an excursion and is this a pretty safe dive for newly open water divers like myself to do, thanks

[@DiversReady]

Hi Lawrence, thanks for watching. The Kittiwake is an excellent wreck for new divers. Just listen to the guides briefing and you'll have a great time. Dive safe! James

[@lawrencedanyluk797]

Divers Ready thanks so much. Yes I’m looking forward to diving this and it looks so much fun to do and I know I will be taking lots of photos from this.

[@mikeodell5915]

I'm going now

[@azonmarina]

Looks amazing! Do you need to be a tech diver to get into the wreck like you did? Or can an AOW do it? Or do you need wreck certification? I always wonder what is the limitation on this. We went to Jordan once and went into a plane and wreck but the instructor said it was his judgement call rather than the certifications we held. Cheers!

[@kenmh7357]

so far done 4 wreck dives i Mexico

[@southronspirit]

what camera did you use for the underwater shots ? , what is the purpose of the tank on the side rather than the back ?

[@Findingmenno]

Hi the camera used for this video was a GoPro. I'm the diver in the video with the tank on the side. It is a different configuration called sidemount diving. It originally came from cave diving. It gives both a smaller diver profile, and you can easily clip a tank loose and push it in front of you. This allows the diver to more easily go through smaller passages. I also dive it often in open water like on this dive,.
