About this site
Elkhorn Forest lies along the coast of Cayman Brac, one of the three Cayman Islands in the western Caribbean Sea, and is typically reached by a short boat ride from the island's dive operators. Divers here have reported a mix of reef fish and coral, including Atlantic blue tang, Brazilian ocean surgeonfish, and both redband and stoplight parrotfish moving over a bottom of finger coral, mustard hill coral, lobed star coral, and symmetrical brain coral.
