Scuba Bowl

Salt Island BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

The Cayman Islands are blessed with crystal-clear water and stunning coral reefs. These islands offers a wide diversity of sites, ranging from patch reefs to walls and grottos. There are also excellent wreck diving opportunities and the world-famous Stingray City, making this a premier destination for underwater enthusiasts.

Coral Reefs

Natural coral reefs come in all shapes and sizes, from off-shore banks and walls to patch reefs and fringing reefs. Reef Smart Guides can create 3D models of any reef type, even blending aerial modeling data to produce a combined above and below water model for shore-accessible sites.

Cozumel MEXICO

Diving in Cozumel, Mexico, features crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and diverse marine life. It’s renowned for its drift dives along the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, which attracts divers of all levels, but is particular popular with more experienced divers.

Northwest FLORIDA

The incredible diving in Northwest Florida, particularly around the Emerald Coast, has been a well kept secret for many years, but no longer. The area has become one of the fastest growing dive destinations and is particularly popular among wreck divers.

Roatan HONDURAS

Diving in Roatan, which is one of the popular Bay islands of Honduras, offers stunning coral walls with an abundance of marine life. The island’s warm, clear waters and diverse dive sites make it a top destination for both divers and snorkelers.

Wrecks & Artificial Reefs

Ship wrecks and artificial reefs are perhaps the most popular 3D models we create for our partners. Reef Smart Guides has completed 3D models that range in size from bronze sculptures, like Simon Morris' Amphitrite in Grand Cayman, to the vast multi-dive historic wreck of RMS Rhone in the British Virgin islands.
