Little Cayman scuba diving - a reason for your vacation
Barracuda Bight is the next to last site in Bloody Bay . In this area are located fingers or outcroppings from the wall. You will find in the shallows of the Sailfin Blennys and many juveniles and small fish. There are many crevices and overhangs to explore here. Lobster and Spider Crabs are found here, quite often along with Nurse Sharks, Green Moray and Black and White Moray Eels. Blacktip Boulevard is named for the Blacktip sharks that have been seen on occasion, and you are likely to see Caribbean Reef sharks and Eagle Rays. A Manta Ray has also been seen cruising the blue at this site. Look into the deep crevices and come face to face with big-eyed Squirrelfish, Lobsters and a variety of blennies and gobies. Huge barrel sponges dwarf divers as they glide by. In the sand, looks out for the tiny garden eels that retreat into their sand burrows as you approach. Large barrel sponges, Blue Chromis and other schooling fish make Bus Stop busy and colorful. A sand chute down into the deep also makes Bus Stop a great dive - keep your eyes open for passing Eagle rays, Turtles and Stingrays and check the Vase Sponges for Goby cleaner fish, Crinoids and Arrow Crabs. Cascades is the first and most northern point in the Jackson Point area. Once you've entered the water and started down you will understand the meaning of Cascades. This is the area where it all cascades down to "La La Land". You will find turtles, sharks, Eagle and Sting rays on this far out site, as well as conch. The coral heads in this area look like small mountain ranges. Makes for great wide-angle photos. Coconut Walk, a spectacular site toward the west end of the Bloody Bay Wall is like a smaller main wall split in two – a mini-wall at a depth of 30ft and the main wall at 60ft. As you navigate the site – keep your eyes open for pillar coral and the turtles and stingrays that swim around them. Angelfish (Gray, Queen and French) and Parrotfish can usually be found on the mini-wall. Juveniles of all sort (including Butterfly fish, Spotted drums) can be found. Occasionally the Lemon (or yellow) ray can also be found here. Off the main wall is a favorite place to spot cruising reef sharks. Definitely request Cumber’s Caves if you like swim-throughs, there are two or three that will take you from the sandy boulevard and spit you out on the sheer wall at about 80-100ft. Aside from the exciting swim-throughs, you can also see a variety of juveniles on the mini wall and if you stick to the sandy area look out for eagle rays feeding, Southern stingrays and numerous garden eels.
