Old Issac’s

Old Issac’s on Grand Cayman is one of those sites we always recommend, especially for a relaxed afternoon dive. The main draw is that ledge, starting around 8 metres and dropping down to a rubble bottom at 18 metres. It’s a gentle drift along the wall, perfect for just letting the current carry you. What we really love here, though, is the coral nursery. Those PVC "trees" are full of growing staghorn and elkhorn coral, and they really pull in the fish. You'll often see schools of blue runners circling, and it’s a great spot for blue parrotfish munching away. Keep an eye out for the redlip blennies too; they’re often tucked into crevices along the top of the ledge. We've had some fantastic encounters with Nassau grouper cruising through the nursery too. The visibility is usually excellent, around 24 metres, making it an easy site to navigate and spot the smaller stuff. It's a great pick for newer divers or anyone looking for a chill dive with plenty of photographic opportunities.
