The
Cayman Islands have long been synonymous with quality diving,
great resorts and high quality dive operations.
The Caymans are located just south of Cuba and to the west
of Jamaica. The Caymans are comprised of three Islands:
Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Outstanding
diving is available from all three islands with the greatest
number of hotels and dive operators working from Grand Cayman
and the Famed “7 mile beach.”
On Grand Cayman, diving the West Wall is just
steps away. In addition, the North Wall and Sting Ray City
are not to be missed. Also Grand Cayman offers very good
shore diving.
The more remote islands offer Bloody Bay Wall,
which is located off Little Cayman, is accessible from Cayman
Brac as well. Good air service is available from many cities.
