This dive site, Preston Bay, is celebrated as one of Little Cayman's premier shallow and well-sheltered snorkeling locations. Its easy shore access and close proximity to reef areas make it an excellent spot for exploring the underwater world. Navigation is straightforward, staying within the bay's sheltered waters and along the shallow reef.
The diverse marine life includes a variety of tropical fish and spiny lobsters. Lucky visitors may also encounter larger species such as occasional nurse sharks and majestic eagle rays patrolling the shallow waters.
The best time to visit Preston Bay is generally year-round, thanks to the Cayman Islands' consistently warm weather. It's particularly ideal for beginners, families, and those looking for a relaxing, easy-access snorkeling or freediving experience. The shallow depth makes it perfect for extended bottom times for freedivers and safe exploration for snorkelers.
