Diving the Kittiwake in Grand Cayman

The USS Kittiwake is one of Grand Cayman’s most famous dive sites, offering an incredible wreck diving experience for both beginners and advanced divers. This former U.S. Navy submarine rescue vessel was intentionally sunk in 2011 off Seven Mile Beach, creating an artificial reef teeming with marine life. Resting at depths ranging from 27 to 65 feet (8 to 20 meters), the Kittiwake is easily accessible, making it ideal for recreational divers and snorkelers alike.

Divers can explore multiple decks, swim through the open cargo holds, and navigate rooms like the engine room, mess hall, and recompression chamber.

Over the years, coral and sponges have taken hold, attracting barracuda, angelfish, groupers, and the occasional sea turtle. With excellent visibility and plenty of light filtering through the wreck, the Kittiwake offers a thrilling yet safe dive experience, perfect for underwater photography and wreck enthusiasts.
