Located in front of the site of the old Cayman Islands Dive Lodge, the namesake anchor of this dive site dates to 1794 during the wreck of the Ten Sails. It rests upright against the reef a short swim east of the mooring pin — keep an eye out for the attached chain, which is heavily overgrown and encrusted, requiring a close look to spot. The deeper area of the site offers waving gardens of sea fans and sea plumes, healthy sponges, and large colonies of hard corals.

Directly below the boat, low and narrow grooves make for fun exploration on the way to the anchor or on the return. The sandy areas are home to well-camouflaged Peacock Flounders that blend perfectly with the bottom as they rest — but spook one and it darts away, flashing a vibrant white color with blue rings that makes the peacock name immediately obvious. Lodge Anchor is one of the East End's quieter gems, offering a satisfying combination of history, topography, and marine life.
