tiggymalvern: (action!)
For our first day of diving in Little Cayman, the winds and the surface chop kept us on the protected south side of the island. This meant a day of diving lovely, fishy shallow reefs and a wreck called the Soto Trader. The Soto Trader is a true wreck, a 120 foot freighter who sank in 1975 following a fire involving the alcohol it was transporting.



The second day of diving Little Cayman, the winds changed and we got to north to where the famous walls are. They really are stunning walls, dropping away into perfectly visible depths, and covered in life. Lots of tiger groupers being cleaned down there! Plenty to see in the shallower parts too for safety stops and follow up dives - watch out for the scorpionfish at 1.50.



The third day of diving in Little Cayman was just stunning. We did three dives at sites on the Bloody Bay wall and the amazing, fishy reefs above them. I liked the coral formation that looks almost human thirty seconds in :-) The guides told us the pillar coral at Coconut Walk was the largest in the Cayman Islands and that seemed quite likely!



I'm getting there, just one or two more edits to go :-)
