Welcome to the Cayman Islands

Grand Cayman, Little Cayman & Cayman Brac

Excellent visibility and calm, warm waters have made the Cayman Islands a scuba diving favourite for decades. Every week, Cayman Aggressor IV divers explore the walls and ship wrecks of Grand Cayman, and weather permitting, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. Cayman vacations begin at the George Town Dock Saturday afternoon.

It would take several weeks, multiple airplane rides, a couple of hotels, rental cars and lots of money to explore all of the best of the Caymans. How does a diver efficiently cover all three islands? The solution is simple - a luxury liveaboard that takes you from site to site.

Keith Tibbetts, a 100m long Russian destroyer. The week culminates back on Grand Cayman with the world famous feeding frenzy at Stingray City.

Dive Sites

LITTLE CAYMAN

Nancy’s Cup of Tea: Look for a huge pinnacle jutting up from the top of the wall. Keep an eye out for sharks in the lower depths.

Eagle Ray Roundup: The sandy sea floor is at 30 feet and 40 feet near the wall. Coral heads rise up to 5m, great for snorkelling. Look for Garden Eels on the west side and Eagle Rays in the open water.

Fathom Wall: The wall is very steep and full of narrow canyons and coral. The sand plain on top of the wall is teeming with fish, like schools of Yellowtail Snapper, Horse-eye Jacks, Barracuda, Yellow-headed Jawfish and a bright Yellow Coney or two. The coral is magnificent, yellow and orange tubes, red cup sponges, red finger sponges, orange elephant ear sponges and more.

Marilyn’s Cut: Two canyons are on each side of a pinnacle and a nice cave is off the eastern side. You’ll find Barracudas, Parrotfish, Triggers, and “Freddie” a friendly Nassau Grouper.

Randy’s Gazebo: Behind a pinnacle, there is a wide opening to a vertical chimney. The chimney exit is at a depth of 25m. Swimming east across the base of the wall, you’ll discover a deep canyon with a beautiful coral arch. The arch is covered with sea feathers, basket sponges, yellowtube sponges and more.

Lea Lea’s Lookout: Giant coral tunnels spiral through the wall exit at about 110 feet in a sea of plate coral and black coral.

CAYMAN BRAC

Russian Destroyer: The 356, now renamed Capt. Keith Tibbets, is a scuttled 110m long Russian Brigadier Frigate. (The Cayman Aggressor actually held her in place as the hull filled with water.) The fore and aft cannons, machine gun turrets and missile launcher all remain intact. Snorkellers can easily view the wreck because the command tower lies only 6m beneath the surface. The wreck lies on a sandy bottom a short distance from the shore. Barracuda, French Angelfish, Yellowtail Snapper and juvenile fish call the wreck home.

GRAND CAYMAN

Trinity Caves: Trinity is comprised of 4 narrow coral canyons starting at 12m and meandering out to 30m, where they spill out over the edge of the wall. You’ll find black coral trees, black gorgonians, and colourful sponges.

Spanish Anchor: The main attraction here is an eight foot anchor. Grey and French Angelfish will guide you to the anchor.

Babylon: You’ll swim through a canyon encrusted with brilliant red cup sponges, gorgonians and black coral opening on a sheer vertical wall.

Big Tunnels: An impressive drop off that has a giant coral archway that is covered with sponges and black gorgonian fans.
