Cayman Brac East
Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, orcas, sea turtles and pufferfish - Fisheries offers some of Cayman Brac's richest diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Getting out to Klein Curaçao means committing to the day trip, usually with a stop at East Point. It’s a small, uninhabited island roughly 11 kilometers southeast of Curaçao proper, so expect a decent boat ride. We usually dive the north-east or south-west, depending on what the wind and swells are doing. Underneath, the reef slopes gently, reaching about 20 meters. Visibility averages around 25 meters, which is pretty good for photography. You’ll often spot green and hawksbill turtles cruising along the reef edge, and we’ve seen some hefty green morays tucked into the coral. Keep an eye out in the blue for barracuda and jacks; the currents here can bring in some larger pelagics. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy a relaxed pace and a chance to see some bigger animals, assuming you don't mind the journey to get there.
