Cayman Islands

 

Located west of Jamaica and south of Cuba, the Cayman Islands are the a number one travel destination choice for scuba divers because of the incredible protected coral reef.
The Cayman Islands have some of the best snorkeling and scuba diving in the world. This has been accomplished by one of the most active reef protection programs available on resort islands today. Congratulations Cayman! You protected the reef and the reward has been increased tourism and economic growth for all! Every diver and every fish in the sea thanks you too!

World Dive Adventures is a great alternative to the high cost of diving Cayman. By contracting with small hotels, condos, and apartments, World Dive has provided an alternative to the high price charged by many of Cayman's large hotels. Most important, World Dive personally inspects every resort, live-a-board, and every fish in the sea that they recommend. Most fish welcome World Dive inspections (a few sharks have complained), and you will appreciate World Dive inspections too!
