Bloody Bay Wall
Bloody Bay Wall · Cayman Islands
One of the most celebrated wall dives in the Caribbean — a near vertical drop from 6 m into 1800 m, draped in rope sponges, black coral, and massive barrel sponges. Visibility regularly exceeds 30 m and turtles, eagle rays, and reef sharks cycle along the wall face.
