A typical WSW wall dive for Cayman. Just off Smith's Cove at Eagle Ray Rock. There are beautiful swim-thru's and if you can find one that's not highly traveled, you'll see marine life that we have not bumped into. The operators are very into no touchy-feelie, but rookies (and even experienced divers) sometimes get too close. Cayman is great for the small stuff, turtles, rays etc. - if you want sharks, go elsewhere (although we do get a few off the North wall) - the life here is great but look hard and slow down - there's no rush man!

The west side of Cayman is great. It's quite well dived but there's loads to see. Don Fosters are my operator of choice. People say the North wall is better and it is great - but for me, dives on the West always result in great enjoyment. The deep dive is usually to 100ft. and then the following shallow usually to 50. It's usual to see more life on the shallow dive but the deeper dive results in more spectacular stuff as far as I am concerned.

My wife and I have been diving on Little Cayman since 1989. We've dived throughout the Caribbean and also two trips to the Bligh Water in Fiji. I can't imagine a more dramatic wall dive anywhere, at least in the western hemisphere. Bloody Bay Wall crests in water less that 20 feet deep, then goes vertical to 2000 feet deep. It's like floating along the walls of the Grand Canyon, with deep ravines and undercuts, and marine life of all forms just teeming on the wall and on the colorful coral gardens on top. There are enough swim-throughs, arches, and other formations to keep anyone in awe. As great as the wall is for wide-angle photography, I've taken some great macro shots here too. A site that has to be seen to believe!
