About this site
Holiday Inn Drop-Off is a shore and boat dive site on Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach, named for the hotel that once stood nearby on the western shore. The site features a shallow sandy area leading to a wall that drops off into deeper water, typical of the island's western fringing reef. It is a popular training and check-out dive location given its easy access and gentle shallows before the drop-off itself.
