A-1’s Divers with Disabilities Trip

Cayman Brac
Cayman Brac is one of the sister islands to Grand Cayman. It is 12 miles long by 2 miles wide and is located approximately 89 miles north east of Grand Cayman. Cayman Brac is an ecotourism paradise for divers and nature-lovers. Its legendary underwater walls and breathtaking marine life are thrilling. The diving varies from verticle walls to colorful reefs which promise beautiful hard and soft coral, plenty of turtles, groupers, stingrays and tropical fish. “The Brac” has wrecks to dive, the most popular is the MV Captian Keith Tibbetts, a 330 foot Russian Frigate that has become home to several eels, lobsters, fish and is covered with a thick coat of coral and sponges.
Accommodations
The Brac Reef Beach Resort is located on a palm laden white sand beach with a full service day spa, fresh water pool, lighted tennis/basketball court, conference facility and award winning chefs at The Palm Restaurant. Topside activities available include bicycling, kayaking, rock climbing and spa treatments. The island is also home to more than 100 marked and unmarked caves that are interesting to explore. This is not a city location but rather a secluded tropical paradise.
