Cayman Islands

Jackson Wall and Reef - Grand Cayman (★4.5)

This site consists of a mini wall, coral head formations, sandy boulevard, and main wall riddled with swim-throughs. As super fun dive and perfect for beginners and advanced divers alike.

Bear’s Paw (★4.4)

With a mini wall running through the middle of the dive site, with a little creative thinking the outcrop on the mini wall looks a bit like a bear paw.

Killer Pillar (★4.3)

Only 1 of the very few sites in all of the Cayman islands to find this rarely seen pillar coral growing. Other marine life to be seen include grunts, snappers, parrot fish, and octopuses too!

Orange Canyon (★4.5)

Located on one of the steepest sections of the West Bay wall, Orange Canyon features a dramatic wall drop-off and unique, undercut topography. Orange elephant-ear sponges and other vibrant sponge varieties covering the wall gives this site its name.

Rainbow Reef (★4.2)

In the Somosomo straight, the first day we went to the “Fish Factory” site. A short boat ride from the Taveuni Ocean Sports Nakia Dive Shop, weather dependent will throw you into the most colorful coral dives you e ever seen, along with marine life that calls this space home.

Wild Hammer (★4.5)

Located between Wildlife Reef and Hammerhead Hole, this site offers variable topography that is great for all kinds of divers. Whether you like to see large fauna like rays, or hunt for macro life along the top reef, this easily navigable site is great for beginner divers.

Little Cayman (★4.6)

Diving the island of Little Cayman should be on every serious diver’s bucket list! The reefs are pristine, the walls are breathtaking, and the marine life is abundant.

Bonnie's Arch (★4.5)

Named after photographer Bonnie Charles, this site features a beautiful seascape of coral formations, hardpan, and a mini-wall, but the star of the show is a natural coral archway spanning about 30 ft wide. This is a great site for exploration!

Devil’s Grotto North (★4.5)

Located off George Town, Devils Grotto is a popular dive site among beginners as well as intermediate snorkelers. Devil’s Grotto features massive hulking coral heads with open chimneys and swim-throughs filled with tarpon, parrotfish, barracuda and schools of silversides.

Mares

Bullwinkle East (★4.3)

One of the best dive sites to access on the south by boat with easy swim throughs and archways, big canyons to swim down while exploring the shallow dive site.

Mares

North West Point (★4.5)

A deep wall site with a great vertical drop and lovely sponge life, much like other sites up in this area. On the top reef, divers can explore a large sand patch with finger corals stretching along it towards the shore--there’s a high chance you’ll run into a turtle here!

Aquarium - Grand Cayman (★4.5)

Just as the name suggests - it’s an aquarium of fish. This shallow dive site has the spur and groove formation with sand in the deeper water, and hardpan like bottom towards shore.

USS Kittiwake (Wreck) (★4.7)

The Kittiwake is one of the best-known wrecks in all of the Caribbean, if not the whole world, and sits just offshore from Seven Mile Beach. Due to its shallow depth (no deeper than 65 feet) it’s popular not only among scuba divers but freedivers and snorkelers as well.

Mermaid Reef (★4.5)

Located off of Sunset House, this is the area of the reef where the “mermaid“ statue is located. The “mermaid“ statue is easiest located if you enter through the sea pool, swimming directly out the cut and following the “sandy area“ to the statue

Sunset House Reef (★4.3)

Sunset House Reef is the most popular dive site in all of the Cayman Islands. This is shore diving at its best with so much to see in shallow clear water, it’s an amazing dive for both scuba divers and snorkelers alike.
