Fisheries is a Cayman Brac reef with a mini wall and pillar coral.
Fisheries is a north-side Cayman Brac reef on a public mooring where a mini wall runs past sandy chutes to a large pillar coral. The site is shallow to moderate and easy to follow, with the coral head rising off the bottom and a clear route from the mooring pin toward the main feature. It works well as a relaxed boat dive and can also fit comfortable snorkel or very shallow breath-hold use near the top of the reef, but the main attraction is the scenic mini wall and pillar coral. Logged dives point to calm water, good visibility, and easy navigation rather than a high-energy profile, which makes Fisheries a useful choice for unhurried reef time in Cayman Brac.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy controlled over the sandy chutes, stay on the mooring route, and surface with a lookout because the site uses a public boat mooring.
Access Restrictions
Fisheries is a standard Cayman Brac public-mooring dive, so access is by boat and the reef should not be anchored on.
Legal Notes
DoE manages the Cayman Brac public moorings to protect the reef from anchor damage, so use the mooring and follow local marine rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A straightforward reef and mini-wall profile with features between roughly 9–15 m.
Freediving
Freediving is only practical on the shallow top of the reef; the site is mainly better as a moored scuba dive.
Snorkeling
Fisheries appears on the resort snorkeling map, but the best scenery is still the pillar coral and mini wall rather than long shallow drift time.
