Named for the tall rocky cliffs on the shoreline and the small settlement of High Rock, this is a dive that divers of all levels consistently love. It is well protected from the worst of the elements and starts as shallow as 45 feet while still boasting sheer plunges into the abyss. Dropping over the wall is like being in a National Geographic feature — reef fish stream past while soft corals wave gently with the ocean's ebb and flow, and a large pinnacle at the eastern edge is worth exploring in its own right, with innumerable crevices, cracks, nooks, and hidey-holes to investigate.

Watch into the blue for Hawksbill turtles, the most common of Cayman's turtles, identifiable by their hooked beaks and overlapping jagged shell plates. So chilled and curious that close encounters are common, a careful inspection of their shells reveals gorgeous patterns and colors invisible from farther away. Once back under the boat, the shallow depths maximize dive time — Southern Stingrays love drifting inches above the sandy bottom, and watching them flap their wings to displace sand and reveal buried food is always a highlight.
