Diving

Devilishly deep drop-offs, wicked wreck dives and some of the coolest coral in the Caribbean have made the Cayman Islands a world-class dive destination. Of the three islands, Grand Cayman is the most visited by scuba divers. Grand Cayman’s North Wall plunges deeper than 1800 metres/6000 feet and offers beautiful wall diving with opportunities to see spotted eagle rays and sea turtles. Grand Cayman also offers accessible shore diving on great coral reefs with little to no current. Little Cayman has the Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park, famed for its vibrant colors and dramatic drop-offs and swim throughs. Cayman Brac offers a good mix of wall, wreck and reef diving for all experience levels.

Visibility in the Cayman Islands is wonderful, averaging between 60 and 100 feet (18-30 meters). Plus, the water temperature ranges between 78-82°F (26-28°C). In addition, the island of Grand Cayman plays host to a turtle farm, so it is rare to dive without seeing at least one of the resident species.
