Location:
Situated in the western Caribbean Sea south of Cuba, the Cayman Islands are made up of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman, surrounded by deep blue waters and dramatic drop-offs.
 
Why it’s a top dive destination:
The Cayman Islands offer some of the clearest water in the Caribbean and world-class diving — from vertical wall dives to shallow coral gardens. It’s also home to one of the ocean’s most iconic wildlife encounters: swimming alongside friendly southern stingrays.
 
Highlights:
Stingray City — shallow sand flats with dozens of stingrays
Bloody Bay Wall and the North Wall drop-offs
The wreck of the USS Kittiwake
Healthy coral reefs and year-round warm water
 
Fun Fact:
The stingrays at Grand Cayman’s Stingray City are so accustomed to divers that they often approach for gentle contact — a rare and unforgettable interaction with one of the ocean’s most graceful creatures.
