The
Cayman Islands are a series of underwater mountain peaks surrounded by deep
water. Consequently, their dive sites lie extremely close to the shore,
sometimes even within swimming distance of it.
Grand Cayman's reefs offer a variety of marine life
encounters. These reefs are unspoiled and thrive in the warm, clear waters.
The fish and wildlife are unafraid of divers, knowing we pose no threat.
Grand
Cayman visitors can choose from more than 159 dive sites. It is all in the
Cayman Islands; steep, deep walls covered with corals and sponges in a
wonderful array of colors. Wrecks featuring photogenic structures and curious
marine residents. Shallow reefs filled with schooling and solitary fish and
small invertebrates.
Grand Cayman's wrecks are also a treasure to dive and
explore. Most have been below the water for many years and are beginning to
become incorporated into the the reef itself.
There is also the World's Best 12 Foot Dive... the famous
Stingray City. What ever your seeking you will find it in the
abundant waters of Grand Cayman.
Grand Cayman is also surrounded by walls. Some walls drop
into the turquoise abyss, while others gentley slope downward. The walls are
covered with marine life that explode into a rainbow of color and life.
Cayman Brac Diving
Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are the quiet, undeveloped
sisters of glamorous and bustling Grand Cayman. Just 80 miles east of the
larger island, these two island gems are havens for divers seeking quiet
beauty and natural surroundings.
With just a handful of dive operators on each island, plus
the presence of two liveaboards, this area of the Caymans has retained its
'old island' charm and its pristine quality.
Little Cayman features a total of nearly 30 moored dive
sites, ranging from medium depths to the sheer plunging wall of Bloody Bay and
the more rugged Jackson Bay area. Cayman Brac's sites number nearly 50, with a
wide variety of diving and marine life. The remote location of these islands
protects them from the perils of modern pollution, with a resultant excellent
underwater visibility most of the year. The following is a sample list of
great dive sites off Cayman Brac and Little Cayman.
