Bush Gardens

Bush Gardens is a dive site along Bloody Bay Marine Park on the north side of Little Cayman, an area known for its wall diving where the reef drops off close to shore into deep water. Little Cayman's north coast sites are typically reached by short boat rides from operations based on the island or from Cayman Brac. The reef here holds a mix of coral growth, including finger coral, greater and lobed star coral, massive starlet coral, mountainous star coral, and mustard hill coral, giving the shallower sections plenty of structure before the drop-off. Divers have also reported Atlantic blue tang along with redband and stoplight parrotfish moving through the reef.
