Dive SIte of the Month
River of Sand is one of Grand Cayman's most spectacular, unique underwater sites. Located on the island's East End, River of Sand is named for the big drop of sand that comes from shallower areas. Like many High Rock dive sites, soaring coral towers rise up from the Cayman Trench, truly making this site magical. With plenty of high-visibility, divers can transverse along walls that open up to reveal the majestic blue ocean beyond. Many interesting underwater creatures, especially sea turtles, lobsters and nurse sharks, make their home in River of Sand - and many divers will find it to be like a second home for them, too!
