From Phillipe Cousteau to David Doubliet, just about every diver has stated that Little Cayman is one of the world's premier dive destinations – with pristine reefs, excellent visibility and incredible diving.

Each year, the readers of Rodales’ Scuba Diving Magazine are asked to rate their experiences at dive destinations in a variety of categories. Top honors are consistently awarded to our tiny island, and Little Cayman boasts the Rodale’s 2005 Reader’s Choice Awards for:

#1 Top Wall Diving in Caribbean
#1 Healthiest Marine Environment
#2 Best Destination for Advanced Diving
#3 Best Destination for Underwater Photography

The Cayman Islands have strict Marine Conservation Laws and many of our 57 dive sites are within protected Marine Park Zones, including the legendary Bloody Bay Wall - Little Cayman’s most famous dive attraction.

Here, coral canyons and sand chutes lead you through into the pristine deep blue waters of the outer reef before plunging to 6000ft (1800m). These exhilarating walls are covered with brightly hued sponges, corals and sea fans.

The 80° F (26.6°C) water is second to none when it comes to clarity and it is said that more underwater photographs are taken in the Cayman Islands than in all other Caribbean destinations.

The Caymans’ trademark turtles are a common sight and eagle rays, angelfish, reef sharks and grouper count among the 500 species of fish that have been documented here.
