Description:
Grand Cayman is by far the largest of the Cayman Islands. It is the most developed and therefore has the most comprehensive range of grocery stores, restaurants, bars, accommodation, dive operators and other facilities. Waters of the Cayman Islands are crystal clear and warm throughout the year with over 200 dive sites, each with its own name and unique and amazing characteristics. The Cayman Islands are a diver's and snorkler's paradise. Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are the ultimate destinations for even the most discriminating diver or tourist.
The Cayman Islands are a series of underwater mountain peaks surrounded by deep water. Consequently, their dive sites lie extremely close to the shore, sometimes even within swimming distance of it.Grand Cayman's reefs offer a variety of marine life encounters. These reefs are unspoiled and thrive in the warm, clear waters. The fish and wildlife are unafraid of divers, knowing we pose no threat. | |
