Cayman Diving Sites
Grand Cayman Dive Sites
There are over 200 Cayman Dive sites on Grand Cayman. We choose our Cayman Dive Sites according to the weather and the experience level of the divers on board.
Every day we look for the best Cayman diving conditions. We use a number of different weather sources and our 12 years of experience in Cayman waters. We look for the calmest seas, no current, and the best visibility. Our Cayman Diving choice also depends on the divers we have on board. We never visit the same dive site twice during your vacation. We make sure to show you the very best of Cayman Scuba Diving. There is a great diversity of marine life and topography to choose from and we understand your visit to the island maybe short, so we make sure you to show you some of our favorites as well.
We are lucky that there is awesome Cayman Diving on all four sides of the Grand Cayman, North, East, South and West. We are perfectly situated to dive Grand Cayman’s North Wall from our slip in the Cayman Islands Yacht Club and we are a short boat ride from the best Cayman Diving on the spectacular and typically leeward, West Side. Also, when conditions allow, we dive from the South Shore. This is where our third mooring is and we operate from the Grand Cayman public dock.
North Side Cayman Islands Diving
Considered by most divers to be the best of Cayman Diving. This unique wall is home to one of our favorite creatures the Eagle Ray! In the summer time it is not unusual to see large numbers of these beautiful creatures swimming together along the wall. Our trade winds are from the North East which makes this dive area very weather dependent. We get here whenever the the conditions allow. Here are a few of our top picks:
- Eagle Ray Pass
- Princess Pennies Pinnacle
- Lemon Reef
- Roberts Wall
West Side Cayman Islands Diving
The West Side is a true divers delight with the biggest diversity of sites anywhere on the island. The conditions offer perfect Cayman Diving over 340 days of the year, WEST IS BEST! We leave from the dock at West Bay which means we are a five minute boat ride from some the most popular and famous Grand Cayman dive sites. There is so much to choose from, whether its your first time Cayman Diving or you are a regular visitor, we will always find you something new and exciting to see. You never know what might swim past! In our time on the island we have seen whale sharks, marlin, eagle rays, loggerhead turtles, and incredible macro life like the diamond blenny, leopard flatworm and the even a very rare frog fish. The West Side is also home to our latest dive site The USS KIttiwake. Our Boat is designed for beach pick up and drops offs. So if you are staying on Seven Mile Beach we can drop you at the beach when your Cayman Diving Trip is finished. You will look like James or Jane Bond strolling up the beach after an incredible dive experience! There are too many awesome sites to name them all but here are a few:
- Trinity Caves
- Round Rock
- Big Tunnels
- Bonnie’s Arch
- Bolero
- Armchair Reef
South Side Cayman Islands Diving
This is a hidden gem of Cayman Islands Scuba Diving and when conditions allow it makes for a perfect addition to your Cayman Dive Trip. The South Side is our location of choice when we have strong North to North Westerly winds. This location allows us to dive no mater what the weather offering the same calm, easy Cayman Diving conditions. We leave from Red Bay Dock which is approximately four miles from the heart of Seven Mile beach. The dive sites are a short boat ride, shallow with dramatic coral formations. The wall formation starts deeper here so we choose to dive the stunning, shallow dives, maximizing our bottom time. The short stubbed fingers of limestone make for incredible swim thrus and over hangs. While not an everyday destination, the South Side is a perfect location when the weather dictates. Some of our choice picks for the South Side:
- Laura’s Reef
- Red Bay Caves
- Charlies Caverns
- Ned’s Tunnels
