Little Cayman and Cayman Brac

[echeng 0]

Hey, guys. So what are the dive spots or land spots that one should absolutely hit in Little Cayman and Cayman Brac? Reason I'm asking is that I'll be there in late Feb...

I have been to Little Cayman twice and consider it the best place I have been in my limited experience. There is not much on Little Cayman above water. The bird sanctuary (third largest in the Caribbean) offers some good telephoto oportunities of rare birds, lilke the red footed booby.

All of the dive sites along Bloody Bay Wall are good. Great Wall East and Great Wall West are simply spectacular. The shear drop from 30' to several thousand feet is breathtaking. Swim out over the abyss about 50', turn around and look back at the wall. I think you will be impressed. Lots of turtles in the water there as well.

 

I haven't been to Brac, but the Russian Frigate Tibbetts is reported as a must do dive.

 

Land based, liveaboard or just passing through ?

 

Looking forward to your trip report and lots of pictures.

i think must do dive spot wise they all just got listed ..

 

Bloody Bay .. and the Kirk Tibbetts Russian Destroyer are the must do ones .. but they are all awesome ...

 

and AHEM ... the holy trinity must be complete with some classic Grand Cayman Dives ...

Anyhow...

 

Dive the Destroyer (CB)

Dive Joy's Joy (LC) or as DMoss and I like to call it Hammerhead Ave
