Grand Cayman Scuba Diving Packages
The Grand Cayman is the largest island and one of the Caribbean's top scuba diving destinations. It also boasts over 500 species of fish. Grand Cayman has nearly perfect year-round weather conditions and accessibility, offering over 220 dive sites on dramatic seawalls, shallow reefs, and shipwrecks. As a result, Cayman Diving provides the ultimate dive experience from the shore or by boat.
Each side of the island offers a unique experience when participating in the Cayman Islands diving packages — from the vibrant coral reefs on the west side to the dramatic drop-offs of the North Wall. No matter your preference, Grand Cayman has a dive site for everyone. Likewise, the waters are warm year-round, and abundant sunshine provides excellent visibility. That clarity assures every dive site displays its unique, beautiful scenery. Especially popular Grand Cayman scuba diving packages include Eden Rock, Devils Grotto, Babylon, Lighthouse Point, and the 251-foot Kittiwake wreck.

The Smaller Islands
The coral reefs in Little Cayman are arguably the best in the Caribbean, making it a prime destination for scuba diving exploration. They support a biologically diverse marine ecosystem. The local reefs are home to large populations of spotted eagle rays and serve as spawning sites for Nassau groupers. Year-round hawksbill and green turtles, loggerheads in mating season, and sharks are all protected by the Bloody Bay Marine Park. This combination of water quality, diverse coral and fish species is why scuba divers rate it highly. There is also an abundance of easily seen large mammals.
There are 60 dive sites on Little Cayman. Bloody Bay Wall is the main attraction, but other sites are equally exciting with numerous tunnel systems and crevices, shallow reefs, and the wreck of the Soto Trader. The leading dive sites include Eagle Ray Roundup, Great Wall West, Jig Saw, and Mixing Bowl.
The diving in Cayman Brac is mostly current-free. This makes it optimal for new and experienced divers who want to explore. Visibility typically exceeds 80 feet, and many dive sites can be relatively shallow. Due to these factors, Cayman Brac is treasured by underwater photographers looking for the perfect shot. There are over 65 dive sites that offer a diverse range of topography and a wealth of sights to see on every dive.
Experience gently sloping walls on the south side, and proper walls and shallow patch reefs on the north. Scuba divers can view colorful sponges, soft and hard coral reefs, wrecks, and spur and groove formations. Marine species include groupers, rays, turtles, sharks, tarpon, snappers, moray eels, and squid. Another benefit of our Cayman Islands diving packages is shore diving and good snorkeling. Dive sites include the Captain Keith Tibbetts, a 330-foot Russian frigate, Tarpon Reef, and Wilderness Wall.
