Lea Lea's Lookout

Lea Lea's Lookout is one of the named mooring sites of the Bloody Bay Wall Marine Park on Little Cayman, sitting on the protected north-shore wall system. The dive begins at a mooring in roughly 8 metres of water on the reef plateau and divers head outward across a healthy hard-coral reef top to the wall lip, which begins at 6 to 8 metres and plunges vertically beyond 1,800 metres into the deep Caribbean. The site features a series of mini-canyons and chutes through the reef shelf that open dramatically onto the wall face, all coated with giant orange elephant-ear sponges, barrel sponges, deepwater sea fans, black coral, sheet corals and rope sponges. Resident wildlife in the Marine Park is exceptional: Nassau grouper, midnight parrotfish, hawksbill and green turtles, eagle rays, Caribbean reef sharks patrolling the wall, schools of horse-eye jacks, blue chromis, Creole wrasse, queen and French angelfish. Visibility year-round in the protected MPA commonly exceeds 30 metres. The site sees minimal current and is ideal for intermediate wall divers.
