GOOD NEWS!! WE HAVE MORE SPOTS FOR OUR CAYMAN TRIP. CALL SOON ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT
Crystal clear water, scuba diving, open beaches and tropical breezes. Cayman Brac is a Caribbean Island paradise.
This is the infectious flavor of Cayman Brac. Visitors might arrive here all steamed up and stressed, but shortly find their faces relaxed, smiling and arms waving back. A few days later and they initiate the wave.
Most people arriving on “the Brac,” as we soon call it, are packing fins, mask and snorkel. With the usual 100+ foot underwater visibility, the underwater scene is a major attraction. Many visitors also have a full complement of scuba diving equipment. The Brac has some of the finest diving on the planet and for an added bonus, Brac boats can zip over to Little Cayman for the Bloody Bay Wall experience. It will take years to get “spoilt” here..
Notable diving attractions are the walls of both the Brac and Little Cayman and the frigate wreck.
A Russian frigate was purchased from Cuba and sunk in 1996 within swimming distance of the north side of the island off the defunct Buccaneer Hotel property. It is perfectly situated for divers of all skill levels. The stern is in shallow water and the deepest section of the bow rests on the sand at about 90fsw.
Fish, large and small, are turning the wreck into home. Divers will consume a lot of compressed air before they’ve seen it all.
The walls around the two islands are pictures of perfection. Arches, swimthrus, cracks, gorgonia, sponges and fans all compete for a divers attention. Shine a light on the muted blue structures and the reds, yellows, oranges and purples will spin all your color wheels at once.
