Experience why the Cayman Islands are one of the leading diving destinations in the Caribbean

No images? View the online version. This is the place that made wall diving famous. In the early days of scuba, dive pioneers returned from the Cayman Islands with tales of dramatic underwater landscapes where vertical cliff faces plunged to depths of more than a mile. In the decades since these three islands have become the leading diving destinations in the Caribbean. And though best known for walls, the underwater landscapes also feature slopes, spur-and-groove coral formations and shallow sites, along with several noteworthy wrecks. There's something for divers of all interests and abilities, from introductory immersions on shallow reefs to extended-range explorations that push the boundaries of recreational diving.

From shore, underwater profiles drop gradually to a sandy plateau dotted with coral heads. This calm mid-depth area is home to a number of diveable shipwrecks, including the USS Kittiwake, a 250-foot submarine support vessel put down in 2009. Other wrecks sit in depths from 20 to 70 feet. These include the Oro Verde, Balboa, Cali and Doc Polson. Offshore of the shelf, walls begin at depths of 60 to 70 feet and drop to more than a mile. The island's southwestern corner has some of the island's best shore diving, with grottoes and swim-throughs that attract tarpon and swarms of baitfish. The north shore is known for steep walls and vertical canyons, while the south and east coast start with spur-and-groove formations that drop more gradually toward the outer walls, which begin at greater depths.
