Why dive here
With 327+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, bull sharks, oceanic whitetip sharks, orcas and sea turtles - Babylon, Cayman offers some of Grand Cayman's richest reef diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Cookie Monster in Sulawesi gives you a nice mix, starting with a steep wall that drops off into the blue. From there, it transitions to a more gradual reef slope, which is where we usually find ourselves spending most of the dive. Expect to see plenty of yellow-tailed fusiliers moving together in big groups, and we often spot green turtles just cruising by. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate a varied topography and enjoy poking around the corals for smaller stuff, like various nudibranchs and those tiny gobies and blennies.
