Lighthouse Reef - Cayman Brac

Lighthouse Reef is one of our favourite afternoon drifts. Not too deep, maxing out at about 18 metres, it’s a brilliant site for soaking in the Caribbean vibe without worrying too much about your NDLs. We love dropping in near the West End dock and just letting the current carry us gently along the inner reef. You’ll find plenty of swim-throughs here, perfect for poking around to spot slipper lobsters tucked into crevices or a nurse shark having a snooze under an overhang. The light plays beautifully through the coral formations, especially when the sun is high, illuminating schools of bluestriped grunts and French grunts that just hang suspended in the water column. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too – dusky damselfish flitting around the bluestriped grunts, and we’ve even spotted the occasional conchfish. Visibility here averages around 24 metres, which makes for some lovely wide-angle photo opportunities of the reef structure. It’s a super relaxed dive, ideal for a multi-tank day or when you just want a straightforward, enjoyable tour of a healthy reef.
