About this dive site
This dive site is located just offshore from the Morritt's Resort and offers a unique experience: Cinderella’s Castle, a shallow open cavern network of ancient rock formations. This creates a magical maze with interconnected rooms illuminated by brilliant light shafts that shine through the chimney ceilings. The area features decorative Lace corals arranged in a princess-like fashion, alongside Elkhorn corals forming a protective fortress on top of the Cayman reef. For adventurous divers, there's a chance to spot juvenile Yellowtail Damsel Fish beneath the Elkhorns. These youngsters lack their characteristic yellow tail but are adorned with tiny, incandescent blue spots that resemble an inner glow. It’s said that someone collects these fish each evening to recharge them overnight.
