Cayman Island Dive Sites

Grand Cayman’s USS Kittiwake Shipwreck

The USS Kittiwake shipwreck invites you to explore a retired salvage and rescue vessel. Purposefully sunk in the northern part of Seven Mile Beach in January 2011, the USS Kittiwake has become a fascinating artificial reef. It offers exceptional snorkeling and diving opportunities for all skill levels.

Stingray City

Imagine wading through a shallow sandbar, surrounded by over 20 local stingrays gliding through the water. Stingray City on Grand Cayman is a magical place teeming with tropical fish. It offers two areas to explore: the shallow sandbar, where you can walk among the Southern Atlantic Stingrays, and Stingray City Deep, where divers and snorkelers can swim alongside these magnificent creatures.

Bloody Bay Wall

Located in Little Cayman, Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park is a top destination for scuba divers. This park features one of the world’s most dramatic underwater landscapes. The Bloody Bay Wall is a vertical drop-off that plunges over 6,000 feet to the ocean floor, showcasing a vibrant array of corals, sponges, and marine life. Spot schools of fish, stingrays, sea turtles, and even sharks. Grandview Condos invites you to make our Grand Cayman condo rentals your base as you explore this stunning dive site.

Lighthouse Point

At Lighthouse Point, where the West meets the North, you’ll find the shore dive site known as Cobalt Coast. Enter the water from the dock’s ladder to explore scattered coral reefs and a mini wall adorned with soft and hard coral. Schools of colorful fish, large barrel sponges, and sea fans create a mesmerizing scene. Further exploration reveals wide, narrow channels and striking overhangs. Look out for stingrays, eagle rays, sea turtles, and sharks. There are also many options for Grand Cayman kayak rentals for those who prefer to explore by kayak.

Orange Canyon

Orange Canyon, located on the northwest tip of Grand Cayman’s west side, offers a thrilling dive for adventurous divers. Named for its vibrant orange elephant ear sponges, Orange Canyon features deepwater gorgonians and large barrel sponges. Swim-throughs add excitement, and the diverse marine life, including blacktip and Caribbean reef sharks, will captivate you. Dive year-round in these crystal-clear waters and enjoy unforgettable encounters.

Diving Safety & Precautions

Safety is paramount in diving. Avoid diving if you have heart concerns, a cold, or congestion. Always inspect your equipment before each dive to ensure it is in good working condition. Know your limits, and do not dive beyond your training level. Stay well-hydrated and drink plenty of water to maintain your well-being.
