This dive site map of Valley of the Dolls shows the details of the reef structures, possible dive plans, and a variety of facts and figures about the site. These awesome maps are provided by Reef Smart Guides, and you can find a bunch of their incredible works related to East End and Grand Cayman in the dive shop at Ocean Frontiers - for viewing and for purchase.

Valley of the Dolls is one of the most photogenic dive sites on the East End, with excellent sponge variety and many tall soft corals, especially the 8-foot-tall Feather Plume just north of the mooring pin. 

The main navigation feature of this site is a canyon that splits the prominent coral buttress. This canyon is a perfect entrance onto the wall; it can be compared to a window into another world, perfectly framing the azure blue of the open ocean. It is like swimming through a portal, creating a wonderful contrast from the physical reef to the ethereal mysteries of the beyond!

Valley of the Dolls is one you won’t want to miss if you have the opportunity.  If you haven't, let your dive boat captain know you're dying to see it on your next trip with Ocean Frontiers, and weather permitting, we'll get you there to check it off your "55".
