Tarpon Alley

Tarpon Alley, one of the best dive sites in the Cayman Islands, is a scuba diving spot on the Cayman Islands' North Wall. It is located just outside of the North Sound, with depths ranging from 15 to 25 meters (50-80 feet), and it can be a great dive site when the water is clear. The site's varied topography, which includes canyons and drop-offs, makes it a favorite among photographers. You will typically find a few to dozens of tarpon in the area.

The tarpon adults are about 4 to 6 feet in length (although you can see some larger) and weigh up to 300 pounds (for the largest fish). The males are typically smaller than the females. You will also find some nice Deepwater Sea Fans on this scuba diving site along with cactus corals, Spiny Flower Corals, Great Star Corals and more along with various vase sponges and tube sponges. The sharks, particularly hammerheads, are the main reason for diving here. Barracudas, yellowtail snappers, hawksbill turtles, and stingrays that sleep in the sand are among the other highlights in Tarpon Alley.
