Diving & Water Activities
Scuba Diving and Snorkeling
Pristine water, breathtaking coral formations, and plentiful and exotic marine life to experience. A must-see for adventurous souls is Stingray City, noted as the best 12-ft dive in the world. Trinity Caves and Orange Canyon are typical Grand Cayman dives. They are not too strenuous, are easily accessible, and are full of marine life.

Stingray sandbar, which is only waist deep, you can use a mask and snorkel and watch the rays swarm around you, brushing their velvety bellies against your hands and feet. This is the rays' way of begging for food. Take a Glass-Bottom boat or Charter a boat to Stingray City!!!
SNUBA and not Scuba
This cross between scuba diving and snorkeling is a wonderful experience for children and adults alike. Because you are tied to an inflatable raft that holds your oxygen tank you can enjoy the same experiences as scuba diving. Any person can do this because no certification is required. For the best experience, don't forget to bring some food along to feed the fish. Anything from squid to breakfast cereal will do.
Atlantis Submarine
If you are not one for getting wet, you can always immerse yourself and experience the underwater world via a submarine.
The Jolly Roger
Take a cruise back in time, be a part of the action and take a ride aboard this authentic replica of a 17th century Spanish galleon fully equipped with cannons that fire, walking the plank, and sword fighting. Remember to bring your swim gear.
Golf:
There are three golf courses, one of which is a Jack Nicklaus-designed course at the Hyatt Regency Britannia Golf Club (which can be played as either executive 18 holes or 9 hole course) and the Championship 18-hole course, The Links at SafeHaven, a USGA Par-71 course. Sunrise Family Golf Centre in Newlands also offers a 9 hole par 3 course.
- Grand Cayman-Britannia : 345-949-8020
This golf course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, is really three in one: a nine-hole, par-70 regulation course, an 18-hole, par-57 executive course, and a Cayman course played with a Cayman ball that goes about half the distance of a regulation ball. Greens fees run $40-$90, and golf carts are mandatory.
- Links at Safe Haven
 : 345-949-598
Windier, and therefore more challenging, Cayman's first 18-hole championship golf course is set amid a virtual botanical garden of indigenous trees, plants, and flowering shrubs. The par-71, 6,605-yard course also has an aqua driving range the distance markers and balls float, a clubhouse, pro shop, and restaurant. Greens fees run to $60. Golf carts are mandatory.

Around the Island by car:
- South Sound Road is lined with pines and, in places, old wooden Caymanian houses. Beyond the houses are many good spots for a picnic.
- Bodden Town, once the largest settlement on the island. At Gun Square, two cannons once commanded the channel entrance through the reef. They are now stuck muzzle-first into the ground.
- East End, just before Old Isaac Village, sprays of water shoot up from the shore like geysers. These are called blowholes, and the force of the water rushing upward sounds like the roar of a lion.
- Rum Point, which has a lovely beach. Rum Point got its name from barrels of rum that once washed ashore here after a shipwreck.
