Cayman Islands

West Bay

West Bay is a coastal area on Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, with easy access to popular Caribbean Sea dive sites. Most diving is from sheltered bays and boat trips to offshore areas, where divers commonly find clear water, sandy patches, and coral reef habitats. Conditions vary by season, with visibility often best when winds are calmer. Typical recreational dives focus on reef walls, bommies, and established underwater life such as reef fish, turtles, and rays, depending on the site and time of year.
