Bloody Bay Wall (Little Cayman)
19° 40.9′ N · 80° 5.1′ W
One of the world's great wall dives: on Little Cayman's north shore the reef top sits at about 18 ft, then drops sheer past 100 ft toward the Cayman Trench, covered in sponges, with turtles, groupers and eagle rays.
Practical
Position is DoE public mooring 'Great Wall West' (19.68233N, 080.08547W); nearby Great Wall East, Randy's Gazebo, Marilyn's Cut, Three Fathom Wall and Jackson Reef & Wall (19.69073N, 080.06942W) all have DoE moorings. Wikipedia: drop-off begins at 18 ft and goes beyond 100 ft; the 1,000 m contour is about 2.5 miles off Bloody Bay. Bloody Bay is a Marine Reserve: no take; no commercial operations without a permit; moor on DoE buoys (3-hour limit, no overnighting). Weekly lionfish culls (Wednesday afternoons per Wikipedia). Southern Cross Club and Little Cayman Beach Resort run dive boats.
