Little Cayman
Don’t let the name fool you. There’s nothing "little" about the adventures divers
and snorkellers will find off the shores of Little Cayman. Bloody Bay Wall, the
island’s most famous attraction, offers the finest drop-offs in the Caribbean.
Plunging to mind-boggling depths, Little Cayman’s exhilarating walls are covered
with brightly hued sponges and corals. There are spectacular formations of Yellow
Tube, Strawberry and Orange Vase Sponges and tangled masses of scarlet Rope
Sponges. Eagle Rays, dolphin and other large pelagics join would-be explorers
as they traverse the walls. For snorkellers, there’s the thrill of swimming amidst
silversides, jacks, bonefish and conch along the leading edge of these dramatic
6,000 ft. drop-offs.

Reefs & Marine Life
Little Cayman is a tropical wilderness above and below the sea. The least
developed of the three Cayman Islands, her human inhabitants number just
over 100. Though famous for her walls, the island also offers pristine shallow
reefs hosting an incredibly abundant and diverse collection of marine life, both
large and small. Since the underwater citizens barely notice the human presence,
even barracuda and groupers have no qualms about posing for photographs.
Night dives off Little Cayman are delightful. Octopus can be found roaming the
reefs, looking for dinner. Squid dart to and fro, flashing their vibrant colours at
unsuspecting onlookers.
