Go Snorkeling or Diving in the East End
The East End has some of the best snorkelling and diving in the whole of Grand Cayman. Since fewer divers come to the East End, the sites are teeming with corals and marine life. You can easily rent some snorkelling gear and go snorkelling right off shore in many places. If you’d prefer a guided experience, you can also join our 1-Stop Shallow Reef Snorkel where we discover a spectacular coral reef.
If you’re interested in going deeper underwater, our Scuba Dives from Morritt’s Resort take you to the best sites in the East End, including Anchor Point, Turtle Pass, Babylon, and Northern Lights. We even offer a Grand Cayman Night Dive for a thrilling experience!
Do Some Thrilling Watersports
Even more fun awaits on the water, with the calm ocean providing endless opportunities for some watersports. From our shop at Morritt’s Resort, you can rent kayaks, stand-up paddleboards and even small sailboats to take out to sea! If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, you could even join our waverunner tour to go speeding and snorkelling. Browse our range of Grand Cayman East End Activities & Watersports to see what you can experience.
