Loved the sea life and soft corals here. I think we saw one "friendly" reef shark...we ignored him, he ignored us but COOL! Much variety on this dive site...stayed down maximum time allowed.

The Mixing Bowl is where 2 underwater geographical areas come together providing an excellent dive experience with tons of marine life. A definite "must do" while diving Little Cayman

This is a shallower dive than the wall dive, but the critters that are there are amazing. Big and little. Lobsters to squid, to Jawfish, sting rays, turtles and grouper are all here. If you like assorted critters on your dive, this is the place I recommend.

This is probably the archetypical Little Cayman dive site. It is located at the point where a number of reef, coral and wall systems collide and the marine life is stunning. Literally, everything in the Caribbean seems to go through this site.

The best indicator of how good this site is that we had a boat full of experienced divers. I don't mean a few years, I mean decades of diving. We dived Mixing Bowl the first day. By mid week we asked to go back. It's not that the other sites aren't great. They are but for pure variety it's just... More

This dive site is at the intersection of Bloody Bay Wall and Jackson Byte. Very interesting formations, a cathedral-like swim through down the wall, lots of fish. This was probably our favorite dive site of the week, although all were worth diving.

Likely one of my favourite dives of the whole trip (and they are all great) with so much to see and so healthy.

Swim through to descend the wall to 80-100 feet then gradually work your way up and return to 30-4o feet where you truly travel through a mixing bowl of nutrients and the associated innumerable schooling fish, don't even need to do the wall, the bowl is so entertaining
