Grand Cayman Tidbit!

Grand Cayman is a low-lying, limestone island located on top of a submarine ridge. Grand Cayman was discovered in 1503 by Christopher Columbus but it was never occupied by Spain. The island was settled in 1734 by English colonists from the island of Jamaica. The word "Cayman" is derived from "Carib" an Indian word for alligator. Early British settlers chronicled that they saw large lizards (probably iguanas which they mistook for alligators) all over the island.

Diving Overview

During most sunlight hours you'll be water-bound. We'll hoist your gear onto an early-morning dive boat and get you started  at one of the famous dive sites like Trinity Caves, Big Tunnel, Northwest Point, Orange Canyon Devil's Grotto, Sandchute, Princess Penny, Lemon Wall or Babylon. These are all rated as some of the best dive sites in the world.

Basically,  Grand Cayman remains unchanged. The gentle stingrays still cluster at Stingray City. The diving is excellent! Together with other factors such as color, climate and sea temperature, you'll swear you've just taken a plunge into crystal clear bath water, with the most beautiful tapestry of underwater life you've ever seen!

Grand Cayman Excursion Diversions

Although Grand Cayman offers our clients one of the widest range of available Excursion Diversions, we'll be happy just to advise you on the best place to position yourselves for an optimal tanning experience on the decadent stretch of Seven Mile Beach!  Grand Cayman, long dubbed "the island that time forgot", where modern development has blended with the Cayman of yesteryear. Much of the island’s intrinsic beauty and cultural heritage remain very much intact, making this Odyssey Excursion location one of the most affordable and memorable experience you'll ever have!
