Cayman Islands

Head Of Bay

Head of Bay is a coastal area in the Cayman Islands that's used as a gateway point for local dives around Grand Cayman and nearby reef sites. While the Cayman Islands are known for vibrant reef ecosystems, the immediate area is best treated as access and logistics for boat-based dives, with many options for shore and boat diving nearby on Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands. Expect clear Caribbean water, gentle to moderate currents, and abundant reef fish at nearby sites, with dive centers operating from the main towns offering charters, equipment rental, and courses.
