A block of the wall about the size of a bar cabana has broken off, and divers can swim the crevice between the two while keeping an eye out for spotted eagle rays.

Grand Cayman's first resident pirate built a castle at the place now named after him "Great Pedro Point". This is a backdrop for the area's best deep dive. Two massive coral spires rise from the drop-off's dark nothingness to within 70 feet of the surface. Along their sides grow pristine stands of black coral and fans of gorgonians wide enough to cool the World Trade Centre. Turtles and rays swim past on their way to feed in the sand flats.

This dive site has for several years been the home to several hundred tarpon. The site is close to the wall with magnificent views.

The shallow mini-wall that holds the mooring and scattered coral heads are cracked with tunnels and swim-through so shallow that even beginners can explore them safely. The wall bristles with tube sponges and is a good place to catch turtles, stingrays, jacks and lots of grouper. Look for crab and lobster wedged tightly in protective coral holes

Swim toward the drop-off from the shallow mini-wall and you will pick up the narrow start of the namesake fissure in about 50 feet of water. Like an earthquake fault line, it deepens and twists into a wide crack in the table-top edge of the wall and bottoms out on a sand ledge at 75 feet. Divers can swim inside and follow the cave to the left to find Ben, the legendary grouper that enjoys a friendly chin scratch from divers. Big barrel sponges grow out from the sheer drop-off and you'll find lots of grouper cleaning stations manned by neon gobies.

From the hardpan shallows, deep sand crevices lead divers to the edge of the wall and spill over into deep fissures. Between visits to grouper cleaning stations, keep an eye on the deep blue for anything pelagic including sailfish and sharks. The sheer, craggy slope is decorated with black corals and yellow, green and brown tube sponges. Snapper, blue tang and Creole wrasse cruise the open water whenever spotted eagle rays, black tip sharks and big turtles aren't around.

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.

This site is 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. Razor fish 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.

This is 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.

This dive site is 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.

This site is located where the sheer Bloody Bay Wall meets the craggy Jackson's Wall; Mixing Bowl is several dives in one, making it one of the most famous dive sites 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 well as yellow-headed jewfish in the rubble behind the coral ridge.

This site is Little Cayman's only wreck. The Soto Trader was a small island freighter that sank after an explosion caused a fire on board. It's 140 feet long and lies upright in about 50 feet on a sandy bottom, just next to the small reef leading to shore, right in front of the Villas.

Divers will be able to see huge and shy Goliath Grouper. The spotted drums are common around the wreck, both juveniles and adults. Across the sand is a coral island where divers can find spotted eagle rays and Nurse Sharks.

The name says it all. The CAIV is moored in 15ft. of water, and the wall begins at 18ft. – and it is a shear drop. This portion of Bloody Bay Wall is full of pristine vegetation growing off the wall – gorgonians, soft and hard corals and all types of rope sponges. Turtles are often seen munching on a sponge or just swimming by at 40ft. Look for juvenile spotted drums and juvenile smooth trunkfish here.
