Scuba Diving The Cayman Islands - Destinations And Dive Sites
By Max Walker
Scuba diving is, for those who take part regularly, the ultimate escape from the world you leave behind. You can escape and take yourself on an adventure to see things which you otherwise never would. You enter an hostile environment in relative safety. You see marine life and artefacts which you would never really experience otherwise.One of the best dives that I have done recently was off the shore of Grand Cayman. Stingray City is the nickname of the site. I was taken there by Divers Down, who also offer a Charter service for small groups or groups of up to 16 people. They also take you to much quieter areas, where you will not encounter so many cruise ship passengers causing mayhem. The fish were amazing. If you plan to do any Scuba diving in Grand Cayman then Stingray city is a must. Just a ten minute boat ride across the beautiful Grand Cayman Northsound, will take you to this world famous dive site. In only 12 feet of clear warm turquoise water-protected by the barrier reef-you can interact with dozens of friendly Southern Stingrays. After the short boat ride out to Stingray City, the staff briefed us on how to interact with these gentle playful and cheeky stingrays. They come right up to you, and you must hold your nerve! They come and nibble food right out of your hand. Apparently this happens nowhere else on Earth as these fish are normally timid and are not normally so trustworthy.
