About the Cayman
Waters
Diving Grand Cayman
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.

Tarpon Reef
