StandoutRich in charismatic marine life

Kissimmee might not have the name recognition of some other Cayman Brac sites, but we love it for its quiet charm. This spot tends to get overlooked, which means you often have it all to yourself. It’s a gentle, sloping reef, starting shallow and gradually descending, making it a brilliant spot for a long, relaxed dive. We’ve found some truly impressive Blushing Star Coral colonies here, big formations that offer plenty of nooks and crannies for Glassy Sweepers and Flamefish to hide. Keep an eye out for Sharpnose Pufferfish nibbling on the bottom, they’re often less skittish here than elsewhere. The currents are usually mild, making it a great site for photographers or anyone wanting to really soak in the details without fighting a drift.
