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.
