Dragon's Lair, as the name suggests, is every bit as mythical as it sounds. Nestled in the Collier's Bay Dive Zone of the Grand Cayman, this dive site is notable for its mesmerizing coral structure that stands out like the mythical creature it's named after - a fierce dragon, with its mouth open, as if ready to unleash its fiery breath.

Navigating through this dive site feels like you're working your way through the body of a giant dragon, zigzagging through its diverse terrain, from its tail, winding through its intricate body, and finally to its head. The entire journey is packed with a myriad of tunnels, nooks, alcoves, and recesses that beckon exploration. And the cherry on top? A photo op with the dragon's head itself!

While the site is teeming with various marine life and corals, the true highlight is its distinct topography, which guarantees a unique experience each time. As Operations Manager Andy Wilson amusingly points out, "There's a big dragon there, hence the name. It's not a real one, luckily. A Big Rock Dragon. You can get underneath it, you can stick your head in its mouth for photos. Maybe it is a real one. Who knows? Maybe it's just been turned to stone.”

The end of the dive has its own charm, thanks to what the team fondly calls an "active safety stop." Here, divers find themselves over a section of the reef, no deeper than 20 feet, still exploring the reef while completing their safety stop - a truly delightful way to end the dive.
