Cayman Islands
The Cayman Archipelago is making up of 3 islands: Big Cayman, the biggest one, and the small and quite “sister islands “, as they call to Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, located less than 90 miles from Gran Cayman. The sea life of these waters is a good summary of the Caribbean biodiversity: several species of sea fans, many sponges and well conserved corals. We can found there a wide variety of fish, from small butterfly fish to big groupers and also angelfish, triggerfish, trunkfish, barracudas, jacks or snappers. The hawksbill turtles are abundant and you can see them in near every dive, including the night dives, which are also the best moment to find shrimps, crabs and the colourful Caribbean spiny Lobsters. The reefs are healthy and the water visibility very good, with luminous sea bottoms, usually not deeper than 30m. In Gran Cayman we can enjoy the famous “Stingray City”, a true tourist attraction where divers and snorkelers can stroke and feed dozens of stingrays at a deep of 2 meters.
