DIVING IN GRAND CAYMAN

Cayman's marine life is legendary with over 160 charted dive sites and an abundance of friendly Stingrays, manta rays, tarpon and eels. Red Sail Sports professional and experienced instructors will show guests as many sites as vacation times and experience level permit.

Grand Cayman is probably best known for its drop-offs which are considered deep dives. The upper edge of the wall begins anywhere from 55-85 feet, with each dive site having its own personality and marine growth. Inshore from the drop-offs are excellent medium to shallow coral reefs, with diving depths ranging from 20-55 feet.

Red Sail Sports dive boats visit sites on the North, West, South and now East sides of Grand Cayman. Most dive trips are planned for sites on the West side, from the deep wall sites around Northwest point down past Georgetown at Waldo's Reef on the island's Southwestern corner.

The Top Five Dive Sites in Grand Cayman

North Side

Eagle Ray Pass is a deep chasm leading to the wall. It is an awesome formation with towering coral heads, coral archways and narrow crevices- filled with magnificent sponges, gorgonian fans and Black Coral. This magical spot is also a regular gathering place for Spotted Eagle Rays that cruise along the face of the wall. Divers frequently encounter groups of two to six rays in a single formation.

Tarpon Alley is where more than 100 giant Tarpon school together in a narrow coral canyon near the edge of the drop off. Divers can swim through the canyon, almost touching the Tarpon that are slowly cruising back and forth. Most of these silvery fish measure three to four feet long, but there are some giants that reach five measure three to four feet long, but there are some giants that reach five feet in length and must weigh 150 pounds.

West Side

Big Tunnel is an extremely impressive drop-off with a coral archway. The top is at 105 feet, the bottom at 120. This is a sheer wall approximately 300 feet in length and etched by many winding channels and canyons. While there are many smaller tunnels, crevices and overhangs, the real thrill of this dive is the arch. In addition to the swim through opportunities this site is frequented by a school of large Tarpoons that hang in the canyons.

Trinity Caves is a system of four coral canyons that converges on the face of a vertical wall. The canyons begin in approximately 60 feet and slope gradually to 100, where they exit together. Just south of the twin tunnels is a slightly shorter and more meandering tunnel. It also leads to the drop-off but exits into a deep coral crevice directly in front of a towering pinnacle.

The Mesa is a small, flat topped coral reef loaded with more than a dozen separate schools of reefs fish. Here divers can swim with and photograph groups of Blue Striped Grunts, Schoolmasters, Sailor's Choice, Horse-eye Jacks, Bermuda Chubs and Mahogany Grunts.
