CAYMAN 2200

The Cayman 2200 wreck in Ocho Rios is a favourite of ours for a reason. It’s not a deep dive, only settling at 10 metres, so you get plenty of bottom time to really explore the old barge. Sunk back in ’75, it’s been down there long enough to become a proper part of the reef system. We’ve finned through schools of sergeant majors darting in and out of the hull’s open sections, and watched parrotfish methodically munching on the coral growth. What we love about this site is how accessible it is. You can practically snorkel the entire thing, but dropping down gives you a better appreciation for its scale and the way the light filters through the structure. Look for the small moray eels peeking from crevices – they’re almost always around. It’s a perfect spot if you’re newer to wreck diving or just want a relaxed dive with plenty to see without worrying about depth or deco limits. Our tip? Go in the morning; the water often feels calmer, and the light is fantastic for photos.
