About this site
Old 12 is a dive site off Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, an island group in the western Caribbean Sea known for its fringing reefs and drop-offs. The exact stretch of coastline this site sits on determines whether it faces the island's north wall, west side, or Seven Mile Beach area, all of which are typically reached by short boat trips from George Town or nearby dive operations.
