Dive sites in the Cayman Islands at Little Cayman island

The Cayman Islands consist out of three small islands. Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, located between Cuba and Honduras. Its climate is warm and tropical with rainy summers and cooler and dryer winters. Water temperatures range between 26 and 28 degrees and visibility exceeds 30 meters most of the time.

Steep walls, strong currents and shallow reefs characterize the Cayman Islands as a good dive location. All kinds of tropical fish can be found in the waters surrounding the islands. Its spectacular coral reefs can range from simple soft and hard coral to large sponges. Species as manta rays, barracuda, Nassau groupers and sharks like hammerheads and nurse sharks are regularly sighted here. Stingrays are very famous as they even have their own city. More than 150 stingrays can be seen here at one time.

The coast has many shipwrecks dating back to the time of Columbus and piratery. The shipwrecks range from large Spanish galleons, colonial vessels and small trading vessels, many of them covered in beautiful coral. Most of the reef is part of Marine Parks and permanent moorings for boats have been installed to protect the reef as much as possible. There are more than 200 dive sites around the three islands, most of them along the West coast of Grand Cayman.
