When you clear customs in the Cayman Islands, there's no need to explain the contents of your dive bag to the courteous officials. They know divers.
So do the cab drivers, and the hotel staffs, and the island women selling meat patties and native dishes from roadside stands. Perhaps more than any other group of islands, the Caymans are a place for divers. The concept of the modern dive resort was perfected here, and over the years, tens of thousands of visitors have found their way into the clear waters that surround these three islands.
They come for the chance to swim adjacent to towering walls and negotiate shaded swim-throughs, to keep pace with silver-sided schools of tarpon and to get personal with stingrays. They come for the convenience of Seven Mile Beach, where it is just minutes from beachfront pickup to world-class wall diving; for the lesser-known excitement of East End; and for the uncrowded reefs of the Sister Islands, such as Bloody Bay Wall on Little Cayman, and Brac Wall and wreck of the Capt. Keith Tibbetts on Cayman Brac.
The infrastructure that has developed to serve divers is as impressive as the underwater scenery. From resort courses to advanced technical training, there is a scuba experience to match every level of skill and interest. It is this combination of exciting dive sites and excellent service that keeps the Cayman Islands at the top of every diver's wish list.
