Cayman Brac wreck with swimthroughs
MV Captain Keith Tibbetts is a Cayman Brac wreck dive, intentionally sunk as an artificial reef, with a broad hull, open swimthroughs, and enough structure to support an easy outer circuit or a slower look through the openings. It suits divers who want a substantial wreck day with clear-water visibility, simple navigation, and a route that stays engaging without feeling technical.

Scuba Diving
A long wreck pass with open swimthroughs, broken sections, and a lot to inspect along the hull.

Snorkeling
On calm days the shallow top can be viewed from the surface, but the real dive is on the wreck itself.
