George Town, the capital city of the Cayman Islands, is a bustling Caribbean port town.

George Town is located on the southwest corner of Grand Cayman, the country's largest and busiest island. Sailing out of George Town harbour guest will be greeted with crystal clear blue Caribbean waters.

The Cayman Islands are a highly sought after Caribbean dive location, with 300+ dive sites of notorious walls, wrecks and reefs peppering the surrounding waters so liveaboards in George Town are the best way to experience all this. While there are dive sites on all sides of the island, the west side of Grand Cayman is significantly more tranquil and the walls more prominent and dramatic making this a Cayman Islands dive safari to remember. The majority of dive sites are located directly off the west coast, spread parallel along the well-known crescent shaped stretch of sand appropriately named Seven Mile Beach and liveaboard boats in the Cayman Islands offer something for everyone.
