Shore Dives

Grand Cayman offers several great shore diving opportunities that will compliment your
week of boat diving. We offer guided shore dives and training at a variety of locations
depending on weather conditions and divers’ skill levels.

Our shore diving around the island includes, but is not limited to:

• Sunset House (Sunset Divers) – We do much of our shore-based training from the Sunset House. Their protected sea pool is the perfect spot for confined water training, refresher courses and Discover Scuba. A short swim from the sea pool will take you to their beautiful house reef and the home of the Cayman Mermaid. If you venture a further 10 minutes out, you’ll find the small, front-end loader – the wreck of the David Nicholson.
• Turtle Reef/Macabuca (InDepth) – This site is known for its beautiful mini wall. A short swim will take you to the top of the mini wall, around 30ft deep. It drops down to about 60-65ft in the sand. The mini wall is covered with colorful sponges, hard corals and wire corals. One can dive this site 50 times and never
  see the same thing.  Many consider Turtle Reef “the best shore dive in Cayman”.  The site offers shallow diving, deep diving, an abundance of marine life, and don’t be surprised to see the unusual.
• Don Foster’s (Don Foster’s Diving) – here, the house reef for Don Foster’s Dive Shop features a solid reef formation running from 10-15ft. down to 60ft. Once you hit the 60ft. mark and see the sands, begin to look for southern stingray and the beautiful spotted eagle ray. An addition to this site is a small sculpture
  of a scuba diver, made from old bicycle parts.
• Eden Rock/Devils Grotto (Eden Rock Divers) – an old staple of Grand Cayman shore diving, the two sites, divided by a patch of sand are highlighted by the numerous swim-thrus they offer. Look out for the schooling tarpon and during certain times of the year, swarms of silversides.
