Cayman Brac is a wonderful island to visit and has a host of activities for all ages and interests. The clear calm waters that surround the island host a pristine reef which sports great visibility and a profusion of fish life. Snorkelers and divers can enjoy the reef from shore or boat.
The Brac is also well known for its bird watching activities. The pond area provides a wonderful venue for wetland birds. The inland birds such as parrots, boobies, and flycatchers can be seen along the trails and nature preserves around the island.
Brac is Gaelic for bluff or cliff and offers some of the best climbing opportunities in the Caribbean with spectacular cliffs rising up above the ocean and reefs below.
Brac's caves are a must visit while on the island. These caves provided shelter for the islanders during the hurricanes in the early 1930's and today provide an interesting waypoint on a driving or cycling tour.
Finally, Cayman Brac is just a wonderful place to relax. The small, peaceful island is a great escape from the fast paced, stressful life style back home. Dive, climb, cycle or just plain relax - the choice is yours.
Cayman Brac itself boasts some of the best diving in the world. The limestone island rises almost 4000 fathoms from the ocean floor, providing spectacular wall diving and excellent visibility. Rodales Scuba Diving has consistently rated Cayman Brac in the top 5 'Best of Caribbean' diving locations. Calm dive conditions can generally be found regardless of the weather due to the east-west orientation of the island. Cayman Brac's close proximity to Little Cayman also affords the diver the ability to experience the great diving both islands have to offer.
Marine life on the Brac is quite varied. Large pelagics can often be seen swimming off of the wall during our deeper dives. The shallow dives offer the opportunity to see eagle rays, sting rays and a host of other interesting marine creatures. Shore diving is another great way to see the underwater creatures that the Brac has to offer. There are plenty of great shore diving and snorkeling sites on the island.
