Cayman Islands Diving Holidays
The lure of the Cayman Islands lies in its clear cerulean waters, its proximity to a healthy barrier reef and the huge variety of excellent diving on offer, from epic wall and wreck dives to encounters with sting rays and sharks. The island group comprises three idyllic isles - Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac - each with their own distinct personality. Grand Cayman is the buzziest, brimming with trendy bars and restaurants; Little Cayman is the perfect slice of peace and quiet; and Cayman Brac is a haven for hikers and bird watchers.
Submerge beneath the shimmering waves and you'll soon discover that the Cayman Islands' diving is truly world-class, with some of the best underwater sites in the Caribbean. Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Wall is a particular highlight, home to one of the healthiest, accessible reef environments in the world.
The marine life is magnificent, too. Whether it's the silent flyby of a spotted eagle ray, gentle encounters with nurse sharks, the graceful ballet of sting rays feeding in the sand, visits from surprisingly sociable hawksbill turtles or the occasional appearance of a grey reef shark patrolling the wall: you're in for a treat in these wildlife rich waters.
It's not just the underwater offerings that are exceptional - the array of accommodation options impress too. From chic boutique hotels tucked away from the crowds on Grand Cayman's west coast, to quaint family-run properties on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to picking the perfect dive base.
