The USS Kittiwake A Cayman Must!

-






Dving the KittiwakeCayman needs to be on every 
ones bucket list. The silversides love to hang out in the haul of the ship. Divetech. On January 5th 2011, the Kittiwake (an ex USA Navy Vessel) was brought to the Cayman Islands and sunk to make an artificial reef off Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach. In her day, the Kittiwake was a submarine rescue vessel.

Her primary role was to assist submarines by:
- Assisting them on trials
- Rescuing them when they were stuck, broken, or trapped

You can snorkel the wreck! It is 251 feet long and lots to see from above.  You'll see the main decks and topography, take a look down the smoke stacks and see to the bottom of the ships hull and engine rooms. Then head off to beautiful Cheeseburger Reef to gaze upon the exquisite coral, along with the abundant tropical fish which may include angel fish, and many more.

Either will give you some space for storing light meals and snacks. Some passengers bring in a few snacks (think “dry goods”) from home but always check for any r...

To celebrate Women’s Dive Day 2019 Divetech will bring together women hand in hand in an attempt to break their own World Record! In July 2018, 86 women at Divetech in Grand Cayman created a human chain along a 300ft line suspended at 15ft, thus ensuring the ladies were neutrally buoyant protecting the coral on the sea floor. Last year the charitable event raised over $3,000 US for the Cayman Islands Breast Cancer Foundation as well as raising awareness for women in diving globally across all disciplines including recreational, technical and Freediving. This year they are aiming for 100 women and for the event to be bigger and better! They are hoping for a number of the Cayman dive shops to join (bringing our dive community together), a raffle with lots of prizes (to help raise more money for the Breast Cancer Foundation), as well as local conservation organisations joining the event to raises awareness of island ocean issues, such as Lionfish as an invasive species. ...
