About this site
Coral Gardens is a shallow reef in the North Sound of Grand Cayman, a short hop from Stingray City. Swaying sea fans and bright coral heads make up the reef, and the water is sheltered, with great visibility.
Parrotfish, tangs and wrasse move through the coral. The depth is around 3 metres at most, which makes it an easy place for beginners and families to start, and the best months run from April to September.
