Where to Scuba Dive on Grand Cayman
If you love to scuba dive (or are eager to learn), the Cayman Islands have an abundance of unique ship wrecks that have become world-famous snorkel and dive sights. Due to strong currents and boat and jet ski traffic, consider booking your trip with a licensed operator.
- The USS Kittiwake, previously a US Navy submarine rescue vessel with five decks and endless rooms to explore, is located in West Bay near the shore of Seven Mile Beach. It can be enjoyed by all skill levels of snorkelers and scuba divers.
- The Oro Verde, an 84-foot steel cargo vessel, also rests in pieces in shallow water just offshore of Seven Mile Beach. See the spectacular marine life that inhabits the wreck, such as a massive jewfish named George, a moray eel known as Kermit, and a barracuda named Puff.
- The wreck of the Cali, a 220-foot steel schooner, lies in pieces just 40 yards offshore of Central George Town. It’s an easy dive for beginners and a great snorkeling site since the wreck is only 20-30 feet deep.
Just south of Seven Mile Beach and approximately 46 feet below the surface are the side-by-side Eden Rock and Devil’s Grotto, two of Grand Cayman’s most popular dive sites. The coral reefs rise in vertical cliff faces from a 40-foot sand bottom to within a few feet of the surface. Photographers love the light play and plentiful marine life at Devil’s Grotto. Eden Rock offers small caverns, tunnels and swim-throughs. Explore Eden Rock Diving Center in George Town for dive excursions and equipment rental.
A short swim from the pier at Sunset House Resort in George Town, you will find Sunset Reef, a popular site for shore diving because of its famous mermaid statue and several cavernous reefs. With visibility of about 80 to 100 feet (25 to 30 m), look for passing hawksbill turtles, dories, parrotfish and schools of Caribbean reef squid. Rent tanks at the Sunset Divers dive shop or hire a guide to show you around the beautiful reef.
