Scuba Diving

Little Cayman’s unmatched dive opportunities provide the island’s greatest draw. Along its 10-mile length, 57 dive sites are marked with moorings. The most famous site is Bloody Bay Wall on the north side of the island. The wall drops off just a short swim from the shore at a depth of only 20 feet, making it a favorite with snorkelers as well.

Best Dive Sites

Bloody Bay Wall: Starting at a depth of just 25 feet, this site is nonetheless a favorite with divers of all skill levels and is considered one of the best dive sites in the Caribbean. Named one of the top dive sites by the late Philipe Cousteau, the wall is thick with sponges and corals and also home to many formations – chimneys, canyons, coral arches. The wall is a spectacular sight, dropping sheer into blackness from the clear turquoise shallows just inches away.

Nancy’s Cup of Tea: Located on the north side of the island off Big Channel, this dive site begins a depth of just 35 feet before plunging into deep waters. Decorated with multicolored sponges as well as gorgonians. Look for lots of marine life here.

Meadows: West of Nancy’s Cup of Tea, this shallow site is home to eagle rays, groupers, and more. Small caverns and overhangs make this spot special.

Marilyn’s Cut: Off Grape Tree Bay on the north side of the island, the cut or crevice leads to a wall filled with sponges and gorgonians. This site is also home to a favorite resident: Ben, a Nassau grouper.

Randy’s Gazebo: Out from Jackson’s Point, Randy’s Gazebo is noted for its tunnels and swim-throughs. This wall dive includes a natural arch that’s a favorite with underwater photographers.
