As a world-class dive destination, Grand Cayman’s waters are home to many renowned dive sites — and the Kittiwake wreck is among the most famous of them all.
The USS Kittiwake is an ex-US Navy ship that was purposefully sunk a short distance off Seven Mile Beach. Everything was planned with divers in mind, so the wreck is conveniently located a short boat ride from our island’s most popular tourist area. The wreck site itself is easy to access too with many internal areas to explore.
Over the years, a stunning artificial reef has formed, so the 251-foot wreck is teeming with a breathtaking range of marine life. The USS Kittiwake dive in Grand Cayman is a truly exhilarating experience that attracts divers from all over the world.
