Snorkeling Guide
Shore snorkeling is easy on your own, and extremely informative with a guide to narrate and answer questions. There is incredible marinelife to see in the clear, calm waters of the Cayman Islands.
Very seldom do the waters even ripple. When there is a wind on one side of the island, you simply go to another side. Grand Cayman, has great snorkeling and dive sites completely around its reef protected borders.

Locations of most shore snorkleing allow for easy snacks, drinks and gift shopping.

      Monte, Irene, Jessica, and Alec

      Our 10 year old son Alec, who loves movies, especially the Disney productions of Pirates of the Caribbean, was facinated when we showed him the hull of an old shipwreck at 35 feet, at the Eden Rock dive site. It had been uncovered due to the waves of Ivan. Irene pointed out a Cleaner Shrimp hiding in the wreckage to Alec, and later explained to him that it is now a cleaning station for fish. After that experience Alec determined that it was in fact an old pirate shipwreck, and who are we to correct a ten year old. Afterall they know more than the parents, right?
