About Tarpon Alley
Tarpon Alley is a North Sound boat dive in Grand Cayman, where a narrow coral canyon sits near the drop-off and tarpon school through the passage when conditions line up. It is an experienced-diver site with strong marine-life payoff, but visibility and outside-the-sound conditions can change fast enough that boat planning matters.
