Maggie's Maze Bedtime Story 🌙
Listen to a story written by Chantal Blume
0:00 -:--

Named in honor of Maggie, a well-known divemaster at the Cayman Islands Dive Lodge in the 1990s for whom this was a favorite site, Maggie's Maze is distinguished by a long winding canyon that begins in the shallows and leads toward a deeper sand patch to the south. As divers make their way through, the canyon walls grow higher as the sandy bottom gets steadily deeper. Nurse sharks love this area and can often be found resting under the low overhanging sides of the narrow canyon — a calm and atmospheric encounter.

The winding canyon ends with a spectacular swim-through — turn right at the end for a pretty arch with lots of life underneath it, framing the open sand and blue beyond like a window. Fairy Basslets are abundant on the undersides, half yellow and half purple, often swimming upside-down to stay parallel to the nearest surface. Just east of the pin, two large arches and a third behind them create the namesake maze of crisscrossing archways and canyons, where a large school of Horse-Eyed Jacks can almost always be found — sometimes confused with Tuna and always enchanting as they circle curiously around divers.
