Cayman Islands 2.jpg (49948 bytes)

Aruba

  For shear diving thrills, with a true "laid back" island feeling, Go to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac. It’s well worth the additional plane flight to get away from the hustle and bustle of Grand Cayman. You unwind, relax, and get onto "island time" the moment your toes hit the sand. Each of these islands has similar arrangements both from accommodations and dive operations standards, so the concentration will be on Cayman Brac as a representative sample.

    Small, quiet islands where most of the operations are "all-inclusive" for the accommodations and diving. Palm trees, swimming pool, hammocks, sandy beaches running into crystal blue waters and a "local" flavored bar awaits the traveler to these islands. While TVs and phones are available, sunning, books, hammocks, and R&R were the pastime options of choice.

Scuba:

    A blend of wall diving and constant depth diving is available. All dive operations operate larger boats (35’-45’) with extremely fun and knowledgeable Dive Masters and Instructors (a little interaction with them can result in some spectacularly guided tours and fish finds!).

    Bloody Bay Wall off Little Cayman is one of the most publicized and dramatic of the Cayman Islands’ wall dive sites (A must do ...). If you’re lucky, "Ben & Jerry", two friendly Nassau Groupers will stop by looking for a "free" lunch (They smile nicely in the video). Not to be outdone, Cayman Brac can provide you with that "I’m flying" feeling over shear bottomless wall dive sites too. You’ll never know when eagle rays, turtles or sharks will swim by.

    The marine life is outstanding, world-class, Brac is known for having five different species of Butterflyfish that can be seen during a single 50-minute bottom time dive. Cayman Brac provided the largest brain corals and the most frequent number of  Grouper cleaning stations that I've ever seen.   Brac provided my first sightings of a Flying Gurnard, Goldentail Moray Eel and massive Staghorn Coral formations.

    One of Cayman Brac’s claims to fame is the sinking and pristine dive site of the S.S. Tibbets, a Russian frigate resting on a sandy bottom at 85’ with the ship’s deck reaching 50’. This shallow dive site opens the exhilarating world of wreck diving for non-wreck certified divers. Viewing a "sunken ship" elicits sunken treasure fever to even the newest of open-water certified divers.

    Additionally, Turtles, Caribbean Lobsters, Octopus, Spotted & Green Moray Eels, Sargent Majors, French & Grey Angelfish, Groupers, Filefish, Trunkfish and more all captured for your enjoyment on a spectacular underwater video available from Dive-In International.
