The Cayman Islands are in fact 3 islands in the Western Caribbean, located northwest of Jamaica. In fact, they are the visible peaks of a huge underwater ridge. The iguanas of Little Cayman are a must-see, the parrots of Cayman Brac should be added to that list too and the Seven Mile Beach is the epitome of unspoiled beauty. In addition, the Turtle Farm on the northwest tip of Grand Cayman is a great place to see hundreds of green sea turtles. Mountaineering, bird watching and hiking the bluff are well-liked activities on Cayman Brac. Grand Cayman also offers reachable shore diving on great coral reefs with little to no current.
The Cayman Islands have fascinated scuba divers since the sport was invented. Famous for amazing wall dives, beautiful coral and seemingly infinite visibility, these islands are the perfect cocktail of reef, wrecks and rum. Deep drop-offs, iniquitous wreck dives and a few of the stunning coral in the Caribbean have made the Cayman Islands a top-notch dive spot. Of the 3 islands, Grand Cayman is the most visited by scuba divers. Little Cayman has the Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park, famed for its lively colors and spectacular drop offs and swim troughs. Cayman Brac offers an excellent mix of wall, wreck and reef diving for all experience levels.
