DIVING & SNORKELLING

The Caymans are widely acknowledged as the premier diving destination in the Caribbean and one of the top 10 dive destinations on the entire planet alongside The Great Barrier Reef and The Maldives.The Cayman Islands remoteness in the Caribbean and the absence of mountain rivers running into the sea, help maintain ultra clear waters near the shore, making for some of the best scuba diving and snorkelling on Earth.

As one of the world’s top dive destinations, the Cayman Islands have over 40 dive operations and in excess of 200 dive sites marked with moorings. Their warm, azure and clear waters offer visibility of over 100 feet and their awe inspiring variety of beautiful marine life.

In the pristine waters around Grand Cayman there is a stunning choice of over 159 dive sites which include steep, deep walls beautifully embellished with sponges and corals – Grand Cayman has it all and it also offers the world’s best 12 foot dive at the unique and splendorous Stingray City.

Most dive sites are just minutes offshore with many accessible from the shore itself and Grand Caymans’ reefs offer almost every marine life encounter you could ever wish for.

The Sister Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac offer divers an experience that they have probably been scouring the globe for.

The breathtaking marine life and walls of the Sister Islands have been the talk of the world’s premier underwater photographers and researchers for decades now – especially since the world famous Bloody Bay Marine Park is located there (arguably Earth’s most legendary dive site with a sheer coral cliff starting at 20 feet and plunging well past 6000 feet) along with the wreck of the M/V Capt. Keith Tibbetts which is a 330 foot Russian built frigate sunk in 50-100 feet of clear water off Cayman Brac’s northwest coast. The view from above is breathtaking!

“In Little Cayman raw land has been the big seller so far this year. It appears more and more people are seeing the appeal and value of owning a piece of this tranquil paradise”
