Bloody Bay Marine
Park (Little Cayman)
Suitable for both skilled or beginner
scuba divers, this is Little Cayman’s top
dive site with its main attraction being
the Bloody Wall which is a reef wall
that starts at about 20 feet beneath
the surface and then sharply drops to
a depth of 5,000 feet. At 100 feet, the
Cayman’s native stingrays, sharks and
turtles can be seen.

Captain Keith Tibbetts
Wreck (Cayman Brac)
Located about 200 yards from the
shore, a 330 foot long Russian Frigate,
now known as Captain Keith Tibbetts
Wreck, was deliberately sunk to create an
artificial reef. Today, swimming among
the coral and sponge of the wreck
which is positioned at a depth ranging
from 30 – 100 feet, are amber-colored
scorpionfish, groupers, green moray eels
and countless other species.

George Town
George Town, possibly better known for
being a major offshore banking hub, is
the Cayman’s attractive capital which
springs into life when cruise ships arrive.
In contrast to “The Glass House” glass
Government Administration Building
adorned with satellite dishes are the
colourful gingerbread houses which line
the harbor front and are now a collection
of duty free shops and restaurants.
