Caribbean vacation-goers have been drawn to the beauty of the Cayman Islands for years and scuba divers have experienced some of the most spectacular underwater marine life and coral formations in the world - taking advantage of the many charted dive sites and dive-site moorings around the islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. Imagine a week of effort free days with breakfast ready for you once you wake up with a dive boat in the distance just waiting for us to board it for 2 tank dives each morning. Lunch as easy as an oceanside order once we get back from our dives and afternoons of unlimited shore diving that you can take at whatever pace you want. It doesn’t get much better then this. Grand Cayman is the world's best-known dive destination. Some say it's because of the warm, crystal-clear water year-round. Others love the stretches of magnificent, unspoiled coral reefs, the schools of colorful fish, the friendly stingrays, the spectacular shipwrecks, the vertical walls teeming with sea life, even the dramatic underwater drop-offs. This is not a destination you want to miss!
