About this site

Bloody Bay Wall lies off Little Cayman, a short boat ride from the island's north shore. It is a wall dive where the reef top sits in shallow water, only a few metres deep, before dropping off dramatically into deep water, giving divers a striking transition from shallow coral to open blue. The wall is known for its sponges and soft corals along the drop-off, and for the visibility typical of this part of the Cayman Islands. Divers have reported angelfish, grouper, parrotfish, and surgeonfish along the reef crest and wall face. It is rated an advanced dive given the depth of the drop-off, and it draws experienced divers who follow the wall down as well as recreational divers working the shallower reef. Little Cayman's low development and boat-only access have helped keep the site consistently popular among operators running trips from Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac as well.
