Radar Reef is a secluded seldom visited dive site at the north shore of Cayman Brac. There is a boat mooring but not many dive shops make it this far. Radar Reef is best reached from the jetty near Stake Bay's famous museum. It is a shallow dive site reached by gearing up and going down the 'sometimes slippery' staircase next to the jetty. A bit east of the jetty's end lays a large telephone cable that will bring you right onto Radar Reef.
A night dive is great here as the rocks next to the boat pier and the cable wires are a haven for arrow crabs, spiny lobsters and coral shrimps. Silversides are always present in groups, and be careful for the sea wasp, a jelly which is interesting to look at but can have a nasty sting. The sea fans are often filled with flamingo tongues, which is one of the species that make Radar Reef a macro photographers dream. Juvenile fish, angelfish, puffers are some other creatures often spotted.
