BLOODY BAY WALL

JACKSON'S BIGHT

1. Joy's Joy :

From a mini-wall at about 25 feet, a series of coral fingers gradually slopes to a depth of about 60 feet, with the coral canyons between them as deep as 90-100 feet. Horse-eye jacks, moray eels and spiny lobster are common here, as are smaller spotted lobster in a series of swim-throughs east of the mooring.

top

2. Barracuda Bight :

Here the wall drops from a depth of 25 feet to a series of deeper coral fingers at about 80 feet. The soft coral and small coral heads at the top of the wall are excellent places to find anemones and flamingo tongue snails. Hawksbill turtles and spiny lobster are also common on this beautiful shallow site.

top

3. Coconut Walk :

Named for the remnant of a coconut plantation on shore, Coconut Walk features the island's largest stand of pillar coral, as well as a series of ledges, swim-throughs and chimneys. Turtles and honeycomb cowfish are often found here, as are nurse sharks sleeping on the hardpan.

top

4. Lea Lea's Lookout :

One of the most popular deep dives on the island, Lea Lea's features two narrow cuts leading out to the wall through the hardpan. Most divers choose to drift down one cut, slowly swim along the wall at 85-90 feet, and back up the other cut. The soft coral here is especially lush, both down the wall and in the shallows.

top

5 and 6. Great Walls :

These signature Little Cayman dives – Great Wall West and Great Wall East – are on a sheer section of the Bloody Bay Wall. From a depth of 25-30 feet, the wall here plunges straight down several thousand feet. Many divers like to swim 50-60 feet into the blue and look back for a panoramic view of the vertical wall-face. Nurse sharks and green morays are common at both sites, along with pale green lettuce sea slugs.

top

7. Ringer's Wall:

A continuation of the sheer wall, Ringer's Wall is named for a four-foot circular formation in the coral about 45 feet down the wall just west of the mooring. Scorpionfish are often found among small coral heads nearby.

top

8. Randy's Gazebo (The Chimneys) :

One of the most photographed spots on Little Cayman, this site is named for two distinct features. The Gazebo is a large limestone arch at 80 feet, just east of the mooring, wide enough to swim through. The main Chimney is directly out from the mooring, starting at 75 feet and exiting near the wall top at 40 feet. A second, smaller ledge-and-chimney takes the diver from 40 feet to 30 feet next to the mooring pin.

top

9. Donna's Delight :

A continuation of the sheer wall system, with incredibly healthy soft coral along the wall's edge. One of the sites frequented by Ben the friendly Nassau grouper.

top

10. Marilyn's Cut :

Named for a single cut through the hardpan, similar to those at Lea Lea's Lookout. Sea slugs and nudibranchs are a good bet here, as are octopus. Ben the Grouper often greets divers at the top of the wall near the entrance to the cut.

top

11. Mixing Bowl (Three-Fathom Wall) :

Situated where the sheer Bloody Bay Wall meets the craggy Jackson's Wall, Mixing Bowl is several dives in one, making it the most-dived site on Little Cayman. West of the mooring the wall is similar to Marilyn's Cut. East of the mooring a coral ridge runs parallel to shore at 45-50 feet, haven for large schools of grunts and snapper. Moray eels are common here, as are yellow-headed jawfish in the rubble behind the coral ridge. Also called ‘Three-Fathom Wall' because the sheer wall here starts at 18 feet.

top

12. Blacktip Boulevard :

The top of the wall and the large coral formations in the sand behind it are great places to find spotted morays and nurse sharks. Nudibranchs are sometimes found in the sand and along the wall, and Caribbean reef sharks are often seen. Some of the largest barrel sponges on the island are also found at this site.

top

13. Sarah's Set :

The beautiful mini-wall at Sara's starts at 20 feet and drops to a sand boulevard at 55-60 feet. Lobster, eels and scorpionfish are common on the mini-wall. Stingrays are numerous in the sand. Reef sharks and a shy green turtle are sometimes seen on the main wall.

top

14. Bus Stop :

The main feature here is a large tunnel going through the coral ridge, starting at 60 feet and emptying onto the wall at a minimum depth of 90 feet. The mini-wall, usually directly under the boat, is crowded with schooling fish and lobster. Reef sharks are frequent visitors at Bus Stop.

top

15. Cumber's Caves :

Named for the many tunnels through the coral ridge that exit the main wall at 85-90 feet. Headshield sea slugs are often found in the sand inside the coral ridge, as are garden eels and spotted eagle rays. The mini-wall here is a great place to find brightly-colored juvenile angelfish and triggerfish.

top

16. Jackson's Reef and Wall :

A great site for both deep and shallow dives. After a tour of the main wall, divers can make an extended safety stop looking for small creatures in the shallow coral heads around the mooring pin. A friendly barracuda usually hangs beneath the boat at Jackson's, and reef shark sightings are common.

top

17. Eagle Ray Roundup :

Situated in a large sandy area bounded on two sides by large coral heads and on a third side by a section of the main wall honeycombed with swim-throughs. Razorfish are common in the sand, and schools of reef squid sometime cluster around the mooring ball. As the name implies, spotted eagle rays often circle above the sand.

top

18. The Meadows :

A shallow site set back from the wall, The Meadows' coral heads offer a maze of swim-throughs and grottos all shallower than 50 feet. Several swim-throughs lead out to the main wall as well. Pipefish and pipe horses are often found in the shallows, as are reef sharks wandering in from the main wall.

top

19. Mike's Mount :

Tucked in close to The Meadows, this site is named for a prominent coral mound near the mooring. Across a sand plain, a medium-sized tunnel cuts through the coral ridge and out to the wall, where a large Jewfish is sometimes seen. French angelfish are common here, as are brittle stars inside tube sponges.

top

20. Nancy's Cup of Tea :

The main feature at Nancy's is a coral pinnacle, rising to within 35 feet of the surface, partially attached to the main wall. A hole in the hardpan near the mooring leads to a cavern area behind the spire, filled with rope sponges and some of the last black coral left on Little Cayman. From there it's easy to spiral around the pinnacle looking for arrow crabs and anemones in the coral, as well as sharks in the deep blue.

top

21. Paul's Anchors :

A deep dive named for the numerous coral-encrusted anchors – remnants of the naval battle that gave Bloody Bay it's name. At least 13 anchors of varying sizes have been found here. Most divers are able to find 3-4 without difficulty. For the navigationally-challenged, one 10-foot anchor leaning against the inside of the coral ridge points directly to the mooring pin.

top

22. Cascades :

A deep dive at the far end of the Bloody Bay Marine Park, Cascades features tall, isolated coral heads with sand canyons spilling down between them like ski slopes. The sand here starts at 75 feet and drops well beyond 150 before it tumbles over the wall. Large schools of horse-eye jacks are often seen, as are large reef sharks. A visually dramatic site, though strong currrents can make diving Cascades difficult.
