About this dive site
This dive site, named Valley of the Dolls after Jacqueline Susanne’s evocative book, is located on the northeast corner of Grand Cayman. It's renowned for its stunning beauty and dreamlike atmosphere. The site offers excellent opportunities to observe a diverse range of sponges and tall, graceful soft corals, including the impressive 8-foot Feather Plume just north of the mooring pin. A prominent canyon bisects the coral buttress, acting as a dramatic entrance onto the wall. This canyon creates a remarkable visual effect—a portal framing the azure blue ocean, offering a striking contrast between the physical reef and an ethereal sense of mystery. Visibility is excellent, contributing to the site’s photogenic appeal. While specific marine life isn't detailed in the description, the overall environment suggests abundant aquatic life.
