Discover a Different Side of Cayman Islands Diving
When divers think of the Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman may be the first island that comes to
mind. But travel a little farther and you’ll discover an entirely different kind of dive vacation.
Welcome to Cayman Brac.
This small Sister Island combines dramatic walls, healthy coral reefs, fascinating wrecks and
abundant marine life with something that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find in the
Caribbean: world-class diving without the crowds.
Cayman Brac has almost 70 named dive sites, with everything from shallow coral gardens and
swim-throughs to wall dives and wrecks. Many sites experience little or no current, making it
possible to slow down and actually enjoy what you’re seeing rather than racing across the reef.
What Makes Scuba Diving in Cayman Brac Special?
Variety is one of Cayman Brac’s greatest strengths.
You can spend one morning exploring a dramatic wall and the next swimming around the
remains of a 330-foot former Russian frigate. Later that afternoon, you might find yourself
hovering over a shallow reef searching for turtles, rays, groupers or tiny macro subjects.
That variety makes Cayman Brac particularly appealing for a week-long dive vacation. You don’t
have to choose between wreck diving, wall diving and coral reefs.
You can experience all three.
Dive the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts
No Cayman Brac diving vacation is complete without visiting the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts.
The 330-foot former Russian frigate was sunk off Cayman Brac in 1996 to create an artificial
reef. Today, it is one of the island’s signature underwater attractions and an extraordinary contrast
to Cayman Brac’s natural reefs and walls.
Over time, the wreck has increasingly become part of the marine environment, making the dive
interesting for wreck enthusiasts, photographers and marine-life lovers alike.
Nearly 70 Dive Sites to Explore
The Tibbetts may receive much of the attention, but Cayman Brac is far from a one-wreck
destination.
The island’s dive map includes sites such as:
Treehouse
Snapper Reef
Piper’s Wall
Plymouth Rock
Cemetery Wall
Valley of the Grunts
Preacher’s Barge
East Chute/Cayman Mariner
Radar Reef
Stingray Tower
That diversity means returning divers can experience something different trip after trip.
Diving Without the Heavy Lifting
A great dive destination should make it easy to spend your vacation diving.
That’s where Reef Divers comes in.
At Cayman Brac Beach Resort, Reef Divers provides personalized valet-style service. The team
handles much of the heavy lifting associated with boat diving, including moving gear, changing
tanks and storing equipment at the end of the day. Divers can even gear up while seated rather
than walking across the boat carrying a tank.
The result is simple: less time wrestling with equipment and more time enjoying Cayman Brac.
Stay Where You Dive
For divers, location matters.
At Cayman Brac Beach Resort, Reef Divers is right on property and the dive dock is just steps
from the guest rooms. The resort combines diving with comfortable accommodations, chef-
prepared meals, a large walk-in pool, Tipsy Turtle Bar and spaces to relax between dives.
That creates a wonderfully simple vacation rhythm:
Wake up. Dive. Eat. Relax. Dive again.
And tomorrow? Do it all over again.
