The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory located in the Western Caribbean, 480 miles south of Miami,
Florida, 150 miles south of Cuba and 180 miles northwest of Jamaica. By jet, the Cayman Islands is only a 70-minute
direct flight from Miami.
The main passenger airport in the Cayman Islands, "Owen Roberts International Airport", is located on the largest of
the Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman. Our sister island of Cayman Brac also has its own airport, "Gerrard Smith
International Airport". These two airports serve as the Cayman Islands main ports of entry for visitors.
Inter-island service between Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman is provided by Cayman Airways and
Cayman Express. Cayman Airways provides daily jet service to Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, while Cayman
Express provides service four times daily to both islands from Grand Cayman.
The Cayman Islands are known as a premier dive destination, rated as one of the best dive locations in the world.
Cayman Brac offers pristine beauty with healthy populations of colorful tropical fish, invertebrates, corals and
sponges. There are 100 different hard and soft corals in Cayman waters and over 500 types of fish. Cayman Brac's
diverse dive sites bring divers back year after year.
Visibility is excellent, usually 100+ feet (30+ meters). Seas are generally calm with little or no current. The water is
warm...78 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (25.5 to 26.5 degrees Celsius) in the winter and 82 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit (27.5
to 30 degrees Celsius) in the summer.
Cayman Brac offers a spectacular marine environment with reef, wall and wreck dives. The reef dives are generally
spur and groove formations, coral heads and mini-walls. Spurs are coral formations oriented perpendicular to the
shore. The spurs are separated from each other by 3 to 15 foot sand channels called grooves. The spurs can range in
height up to about 20 feet. They offer great places to explore; it's like diving through mini-canyons or along
mini-walls. The wall dives are world renown. They are close to shore and start in about 50 feet of water. The
drop-offs into deep blue water are unbelievable with breath-taking corals, sponges and sea life. Cayman Brac is also
the site of a sunken 330 foot Russian Navy Frigate (destroyer).
Beginning January 23, 2007, ALL U.S. Citizens travelling by air between the United States and the Caribbean,
Canada, Mexico, Central and South American, and Bermuda, will be required to present a valid passport.
