The Kittiwake was sunk January 2011 just off Seven Mile Beach, within the Marine Park Zone of Grand Cayman. The vessel lies in water depths ranging from 15 to 64 ft below the ocean surface, making it very accessible and popular wreck diving excursion and providing a nice artificial reef for the Grand Cayman marine life. This dive cruise excursion tops the list for divers visiting Grand Cayman. The water is clear, warm and ship is shallow enough so it offers perfect picture opportunities. The USS Kittiwake wreck is very easy to explore even for beginner SCUBA divers. It is a secure structure to discover with lots of holes cut to enter and exit the ship. Fun and different from every shipwreck you may have dove before! After the wreck dive shore excursion your boat returns to the dock from where you can walk back to your cruise tender pier, walk around town or maybe even take a second shore excursion to keep enjoying your day in Grand Cayman while on a cruise.
