The Kittiwake wreck is a popular dive site off Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman. Originally the USS Kittiwake (ASR-13), a Chanticleer-class submarine rescue vessel commissioned in 1946, it served the U.S. Navy for 49 years before being decommissioned in 1994.
In January 2011, the ship was intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef, enhancing marine biodiversity and providing an accessible site for divers and snorkelers. The wreck rests at depths ranging from 15 to 66 feet, making it suitable for various skill levels. Over time, it has become a habitat for diverse marine life, including sea turtles, groupers, stingrays, and barracudas, and a significant attraction for underwater tourism in the Cayman Islands.
