Bonnie's Arch

Bonnie’s Arch. We reckon this site is one of Grand Cayman’s most photogenic spots, especially if you catch it at the right time of day. We’re talking about that sweet morning light, maybe 9 or 10 am, when the sunbeams slice through the water and spotlight the arch itself. It’s a proper swim-through, about 30 feet wide, carved naturally out of the reef, and it often has schools of tarpon just hanging out, shimmering in the shadows. Horse-eye jacks like to cruise through too. Beyond the arch, it’s a lovely mix of coral formations and a small wall that drops to about 21m. Keep an eye out for the cleaning stations; we’ve seen some huge groupers getting a spa treatment from tiny shrimp and gobies there. The visibility usually sits around 25m, making for some clear views. It’s a relaxed dive, good for anyone who enjoys a bit of exploration and wants to capture some classic Caribbean reef shots.
