Turtle Reef / Macabuca - Grand Cayman
★★★★★
(475)
Shore entry by ladder from the Macabuca Tiki Bar. A short swim at 3-7m (15-20ft) depth brings you to the mini wall directly west of the entry. Depth around 14m (50ft). Swim another 100m farther west to the Main Wall. Accessible for night diving.
Many stingrays, barracuda and smaller fish but logger head turtles and the occasional reef or nurse sharke visit the area.
