Bloody Bay, Little Cayman, Ilhas Cayman

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.
