The Best Diving in the World

Cayman Brac has almost 70 named dive sites that offer enough variety for everyone. Enjoy little to no current and unlimited visibility as you explore beautiful walls, amazing swim-throughs, and gorgeous reefs with abundant marine life. No visit is complete without checking off a dive on our own artificial reef, the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts—a 330-foot long Russian frigate renamed and sunk in 1996. With the Brac’s proximity to Little Cayman as near as five miles away, the diving is equally as beautiful and much more undiscovered than that of its much better known Sister Island.

With the Brac’s proximity to Little Cayman as near as five miles away, the diving is equally as beautiful and much more undiscovered than that of its much better known Sister Island. And on packages that include 3 dives per day, a half-day trip over to dive Little Cayman’s unequaled Bloody Bay Wall is included at no extra charge (beginning in 2019).

Rebreather Diving

Seeking Rebreather Divers to Explore our Walls, Wrecks, and Reefs

Beginning in 2019, Cayman Brac Beach Resort will have oxygen, scrubber material, bailout bottles, and other supplies our guests will need who bring their own rebreathers. The staff is rebreather-trained to be able to support divers as they service their own equipment.

The underwater world around Cayman Brac is ideal for more technically trained divers to gain skills using their rebreather equipment while enjoyably exploring the wide variety of diving that is unique to Cayman Brac. Explore sheer wall drop-offs and deep ravines like Piper’s Wall and Orange Canyon that are second to none in the Caribbean. While decompressing, off-gassing, or just doing some casual diving, soak in the vivid colors and abundant marine life on shallower reefs Treehouse and Elkhorn Forest.

No Cayman island has shipwrecks that measure up to those off the Brac. The most renowned is the MV Captain Keith Tibbetts, named by our founder’s father in honor of his brother Keith who was instrumental in helping family members survive the flooding and devastation of the November 1932 hurricane that took the lives of more than 10% of the island’s population. And although staying and diving off Cayman Brac, Little Cayman’s famous Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park is within our dive range

Individual Rebreather Divers

Individual divers who are not part of a rebreather group, but would like to bring and use their own equipment will be accommodated on our open circuit boats—diving the same profiles set for others on the boat.

The rebreather diver must have a buddy who is also using rebreather equipment. This is a safety issue in that having a buddy team who is familiar with each other’s dive gear operation is vital for their safety. We must also have advance notice that guests are going to be diving with rebreathers prior to final payment (30–45 days before travel).

Rebreather Groups

Groups with dedicated boats will be able to use their closed circuit equipment with more flexible dive profiles when all divers in their group are using rebreathers and they have use of an entire boat.

On rebreather packages include accommodations, meals, diving, rebreather equipment supplies, and more—group leaders earn 1 comp per 9 paid rebreather divers.
