North West Point

North West Point is classic Cayman wall diving, and we absolutely love it for a morning drift. It’s a deep wall, sure, but the top reef is where we usually spend our safety stop, and it’s a stunner. Drop in, hit the wall, and let the current carry you past thick barrel sponges and the occasional black coral tree. We’ve seen free-swimming chain morays here, just cruising along the face, which is always a treat. Keep an eye out into the blue for eagle rays; they like to cruise by. Our favourite part is definitely the expansive sand patch on top of the reef. It’s huge, with these long fingers of coral reaching out towards shore. That’s your turtle zone. We’ve pretty much always bumped into a hawksbill or two munching on breakfast there. Visibility is consistently good, usually around 25m, making for some great wide-angle shots down the wall. It’s a site that suits anyone comfortable with a bit of depth and a gentle drift, offering that quintessential Cayman experience of clear water and abundant reef life, especially if you’re keen to spot a turtle or an eagle ray.
