Maggie's Maze

About this dive site

This dive site, named after a beloved Cayman Islands Dive Lodge divemaster from the 1990s, offers an exceptional diving experience. The primary attraction is a long, winding canyon that descends gradually from shallow waters towards a southern sand patch. As you descend within the canyon, the walls rise dramatically, creating a visually stunning environment. A notable feature of this site is a swim-through at the canyon's end. Turning right leads to a beautiful arch framing the open sand and deep blue water; beneath this archway, Fairy Basslets—known for their unique half-yellow, half-purple coloration—swim upside down along the ceiling, creating an ethereal spectacle. East of the site’s marker, three large arches form a complex maze, providing ample opportunity to spot Horse-Eyed Jacks. These fish, often mistaken for Tuna, are silvery and exhibit captivating movements as they circle divers. Nurse sharks frequently rest under the low overhangs within the canyon – it's important to observe them carefully. The area is known for its diverse marine life and offers a memorable dive.
