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.
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!
