Wreck Diving Grand Cayman

Doc Polson Wreck, Grand Cayman

Grand Cayman is world renowned for it's vertical walls and shallow reefs. Great visibility, warm water and abundant marine life make the Cayman Islands one of the top 5 SCUBA diving destinations on the planet. To add to the allure, Grand Cayman is home to several very interesting wreck sites as well. One of those sites is the Doc Polson.

Located just off the north end of Seven Mile Beach, the Doc Polson lays quietly in 50 feet of water. Sank in 1991 by Adrien Briggs, owner of Sunset House, the Doc Polson has become a gem and a must see while scuba diving Grand Cayman. Adorned in gorgonians and delicate sponges, this wreck dive is one of the most colorful of all Grand Cayman wreck dives.

 

The Doc Polson is a great wreck for beginner divers. Laying in the sand enables close inspection by new divers without the danger of damaging the slow growing corals on her steel hull. Before the sinking, the wreck was gutted and cleaned, making for a safe diving environment. Originally a cable layer, the Doc Polson is now a true divers playground and the perfect place for your first or 500th dive on Grand Cayman!

The video below tells the story of local divemaster Dan Hodgins. Dan had the honor of riding the Doc to her new resting place at the bottom of the sea. This is a story you won't get on just any dive boat, thanks Dan!

 

Happy Diving!
