The Cayman Islands were rated No. 1 for Best Overall
Destination in the Atlantic & Caribbean in Scuba Diving’s 2014 Top 100
Readers’ Choice Awards. Every year Scuba Diving asks its readers to rank dive
experiences on a scale of one to five, and the results make up the Top 100 Gold
List in the dive industry. The USS Kittiwake was voted Best Wreck Dive and
Bloody Bay Wall in Little Cayman took top honors as Best Wall Dive. The Sister
Islands made the top of the list in the Best Visibility category. Also on the
Gold List with a high ranking; Stingray City, Best Animal Encounters; Ocean
Frontiers, Best Dive Operation; and Sunset House, Best Dive Resort with the
Best Bar, My Bar. Other excellent rankings for Cayman came in the categories of
Best Underwater Photography, Best Wall Diving, Overall Diving and Shore
Diving.
“I think that the overall quality of our diving is hard to
beat,” says Rod McDowall, operations manager for Red Sail Sports. “It’s not
just the variety of Cayman’s diving, but the quality of the reefs, the clarity
of the water, the ease of diving here and the comfort level for our guests.”
Warm clear water, healthy coral reefs, steep deep walls,
wrecks and abundant marine life − all combine for a variety of dive experiences
that secure Cayman’s place as the top diving destination in the Caribbean. Cayman’s
dive sites are legendary: Big Tunnel, Trinity Caves, Orange Canyon, Devil’s
Grotto, Tarpon Alley, Eagle Ray Pass and Red Sail Sports can take you to all of these sites! Animal encounters are a big attraction:
the friendly residents of Stingray City continue to delight; the summer silverside
invasion at Devil’s Grotto and other sites fascinates divers and photographers;
and divers rarely leave the Cayman Islands without a sea turtle encounter.
