Whether you choose to snorkel or dive from the legendary reef just off shore, or seek a more thrill filled wreck dive, amazing wall dive, Grand Cayman and Sunset Divers has a dive site for you.

The boats leave the hotel dock between 8:00AM and 8:30AM each morning and thanks to their fleet of 6 custom dive boats and their unique location on Grand Cayman, they have the ability to dive where the seas are calm. They can easily dive Northwest Point, West or South, whichever is more appealing for the days diving. They also dock one of the boats on the North Sound allowing easy access to the North side of the island. Their morning boats visit a wall dive first, followed by a shallow reef. The first dive of the day is always guided. The second shallower dive is available guided, or you can dive in your buddy group.

Afternoon trips are available to Stingray City and the Wreck of the Kittiwake, and new for 2018 is the northside 3-tank safari and Rum Point Express.
