Frank Sound Gardens

Frank Sound Gardens is a shallow reef site on the East End of Grand Cayman, in the Frank Sound zone, right outside the navigation channel of the Frank Sound lagoon. The mooring pin is at 9 m (28 ft) and the maximum depth is 15 m (50 ft), though most divers find little more than 12 m (40 ft). It is also snorkel friendly.

The bottom is flat sand with coral fingers and rocky formations sitting on it. Sunlight dapples down through the water and gives the site an open feel. The easy depth makes it a good unguided buddy-team dive, and critter spotters can stay under the boat just below the surface.

Look for Trunkfish on the rocky bottom, blowing sand away with their mouths to uncover buried food. Swimming a little west gives the best chance of Eagle Rays around the navigation channel, sometimes several swimming in formation.
