Cayman Island Diving - World Class Scuba
Diving enthusiasts from around the world have been drawn to the
unparalleled splendour of scuba diving in the Cayman Islands. The
warm Caribbean Sea provides a spectacular marine environment for
hundreds of varieties of fish, corals, and sea creatures.
The Cayman Islands’ Sister Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman
Brac are considered to be one of the world’s premier diving
destinations. On Cayman Brac, Brac Reef Beach Resort and its on-site
dive shop, Reef Divers II, offer their guests the best of Cayman
Island diving – a choice of the 120 dive sites dotting the
Sister Islands.
Plunging to mind-boggling depths, Little Cayman’s exhilarating
walls are covered with brightly hued sponges and corals. Bloody
Bay Wall, the island’s most famous attraction, offers the
finest drop-offs in the Caribbean. Many of the dive sites are also
excellent for snorkeling. The underwater visibility around Little
Cayman is 100-150 feet, the water is always warm, and colorful sea
life, such as turtles and peacock flounder, is in abundance.
Cayman Brac, with its many wreck dives, offers different delights
than Little Cayman. In 1996 a 330 foot Russian warship with four
deck guns, renamed the MV Capt. Keith Tibbetts, was sunk off the
west end of the island. As well, there are three other wrecks in
the area, the 65-foot Cayman Mariner, the 60-foot tugboat Kissimee
and the Prince Frederick which ran aground in 1897. Other sites
around Cayman Brac include an ancient anchor embedded in a wall,
many shallow coral reefs and an underwater city of Atlantis.
Reef Divers II at Brac Reef Beach Resort is a team of international
dive professionals known for their outstanding experience, expertise
in diving and awarding-winning Rodale’s Scuba Diving records.
They offer valet diving and they have the only full Nitrox station
on the island. They know Cayman Island diving and how to make every
