Grand Cayman 2-Tank North Wall Morning Dive
Arguably some of the best wall diving in the world, Cayman’s North Wall is famous for its sheer wall face and huge coral formations.
Dive Introduction
Arguably some of the best wall diving in the world, Cayman’s North Wall is famous for its sheer wall face and huge coral formations. The reef crest starts around 50–60 feet and drops dramatically into deep blue water, making this one of the most visually striking dive sites in Grand Cayman.
This excursion includes two dives with a surface interval in between. The first dive is a guided descent along the wall, reaching a maximum depth of 100 feet. Bottom times last about 45 minutes on air or up to 55 minutes on Nitrox, and shallower profiles are available for those who prefer.
After a surface interval of approximately 60 minutes, the second dive begins. Divers can choose a buddy-team dive or follow one of our guides for added support. This dive typically explores the upper section of the wall or a nearby shallow reef, reaching depths of about 50–60 feet and lasting up to 50 minutes.
Keep your eyes open for Grand Cayman’s larger marine residents, including eagle rays gliding past, green turtles, moray eels, nurse sharks, and occasionally reef sharks or hammerheads.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time of year to dive in Grand Cayman?
The beauty of diving in Grand Cayman is that we can dive year-round!
Whilst we don’t typically have ‘seasons’ as such, there are variations in the weather dependent on the time of year you visit. Generally the West side has the calmest waters with winds coming predominantly from the East, but we can offer dives from the North, West, East, South, the Ex-USS Kittiwake & Stingray City.
What is the water temperature in Grand Cayman? Do I need a wetsuit?
December, January & February typically have stronger winds, with slightly ‘cooler’ water temperatures – around 80ºF. The waters start to warm up again after this and the hottest months are July, August,& September – when the water can reach up to 86ºF! Most people are comfortable with no wetsuit, or a 3mm shorty (available to rent if required).
I haven’t dived for a few years. Should I take a refresher class?
Yes. For your safety and enjoyment during your dive activities, Red Sail Sports refresher policy is as follows:
Last dive was over 1 year ago – Refresher Course recommended.
Last dive was 2-5 years ago – Red Sail Refresher Course required.
Last dive was 6+ years ago – Full PADI Scuba Tune Up Course required.
You are more than welcome to complete a refresher class prior to arriving in Grand Cayman and take part in a shallow dive before a wall dive.
If you have any further questions about our refresher course policy then please call toll free 1-877-506-6368 or email and our representatives will be happy to assist.
Which dive certification cards do you accept?
All certified divers are required to present a Certification card upon check-in. Red Sail Sports accepts the following certification cards, among others: PADI, SSI (NASDS), NAUI, IDEA, PDIC, SDI, YMCA & HSA.
I forgot to bring my certification card with me, will I still be able to dive?
Proof of dive certification is required to dive with Red Sail Sports. Many of the larger dive agencies (PADI, NAUI, SSI) have an online system to look up divers, so if you have forgotten your certification card we should be able to find you if you are certified with one of these agencies. If not then we recommend that you contact your certifying agency prior to arrival on island.
Please note:
The North Wall dives are weather dependent due to prevailing north-easterly winds, but when conditions are right, the underwater scenery is truly unforgettable.
