Join us for a fun-filled hour of snorkeling at The EX USS Kittiwake Wreck Site, the Cayman Islands newest shipwreck snorkel site. The snorkel site is in the Kittiwake Marine park, where all guests will receive a commemorative wrist band of the USS Kittiwake - a 251 ft. submarine rescue vessel, which sunk in 56 feet of water. The Kittiwake sits upright with her top deck only 4 feet from the surface. This wreck is a brand new attraction to Grand Cayman and is expected to be around for at least 50 years, due to her double hull structure and some 1800 tons.
