The Grand Cayman, along with its sister islands Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, are three English-speaking islands in the unspoiled Caribbean Sea located just about an hour south of Miami.

The islands’ amazing fish-covered coral reefs and dramatic underwater drop-offs provide the ideal setting for underwater photography and has been one of the most sought after destinations by even the amateur photographers for many years.

Each of the two islands’ sea bed composes of a sub-sea mountain range, known as the Cayman Ridge.
