There is a fun wreck dive in Cayman Brac that we can do one day. during our trip if there are enough people interested. There is a $35  $30 surcharge for gas to go to Cayman Brac and we will do 2 dives in Cayman Brac while there so let us know if you want to do this. :thankyou:
 
Russian Frigate 356 MV Capt. Keith Tibbetts
She was purchased and sunk on a sandy plateau off the northeast end of Cayman Brac September 17, 1996. Slowly time is changing the wreck. Today she is loaded with corals and sponges. Over 100 species of marine life have been documented in the short time she has been down. Fish ranging from the small secretary blenny to the goliath grouper live in her dark recesses. She is commonplace for moray eels, scorpion fish, and hawksbill turtles. Often large permits and ocean triggers are seen swimming the blue waters around the site. Even the sand holds a plethora of life; cushion starfish, garden eels, and thorny sea cucumbers to name a few. The location usually has 100 plus visibility and no current. The stern sits in approximately 60 and the bow in 85 making it a shallow wreck dive and a photographers dream. Her 5 canons can be seen in magazines the world over. The wreck has been made diver friendly and portions of it are penetrable.

 

Last year we had the MOST playful turtle who is a regular resident of the wreck!

Sounds like a great idea! Please add me to the list.

 

How much is the surcharge? Do we need a minimum number of people before they will set up the dive?

Will this be one of our afternoon dives?

or will we do our two morning dives there?

$35 payable on the island?

How many peeps do we need to make it happen?

Most likely 2 am dives there but I am verifying and will advise. Those who do not want to do it will stay in LC.

Yes $35 payable on island IF WE GET ENOUGH people to go.

 

Yes there is a min and I will post that as well. Most likely we need about half to go so one boat stays and one boat goes.

UPDATE:

 

We need 18-19 people to go since the whole boat will head to Cayman Brac for 2 dives. The fuel surchg is $30 per person to be applied to your dive shop bill since this is also weather dependent.
