Every detail in this resort anticipates your perfect dive holiday.

What's so special about Cayman Brac?

The larger of Grand Cayman's two "little sister" islands, Cayman Brac is located 87 miles east of Grand Cayman and some 500 miles south of Miami. Cayman Brac offers world-class diving without any of the hassles found on larger islands: No need to travel to the boats--they're waiting at the end of the pier. No long water trips to reach the sites--Cayman Brac is surrounded with awesome sites within just minutes of the shore. And just a short hop away by boat is Bloody Bay Wall, the site Jacques Cousteau proclaimed, "the best dive in the Caribbean."

Some interesting geographical sites to see on land: "brac" is Gaelic for bluff and Cayman Brac's most dramamtic feature is its coastal section of 140-foot-high bluffs overlooking the sea. There are caves, too. Reputed to be storehouses for the booty of the Caymans' early pirates. Not much night life outside the hotel, but remember, fewer shore attractions means fewer distractions from the real attraction of Cayman Brac --- diving!

They say middle kids always get the least attention, but not so for Cayman Brac. Hardly bigger than nearby thumb-sized Little Cayman, the Brac, as locals call it, has the same splendid tranquility as her little sister, with a touch of the "big" island - a modern airport with a real runway and a hotel with telephones and satellite TV. While Cayman Brac isn't exactly overloaded with shopping, fine dining, and nightlife (in fact, there is none), you won't mind because you'll be rising and setting with the sun like everyone else. The attractions here are simple: wind-rustled palm fronds at twilight, hammocks on an untouched beach, and the ubiquitous diving and snorkeling.

Take another day to scout the 10-mile long isle. The caves that dot the bluff wall near Spot Bay make fine hurricane havens - see if you can screw up your courage to visit Bat Cave. At day's end, the main road that unrolls past flowery oceanside cemeteries and the airy porches of traditional Caymanian homes quickly carries you back to your hammocks by the sea.
