Recent sightings of rare sea creatures off Caymans

"Hammerheads, manta rays, a sperm whale and even an 18-foot whale shark are among some amazing wildlife sightings around the Cayman Islands in the past few weeks"

Man, I would love to see a Manta off the wall at Little Cayman. I was really sad that Molly stopped coming around before I ever got a chance to see her.

Molly was quite the Manta and we saw her several times (trips). The dolphin "spot" was also a fun thing to see off the Brac and Little Cayman. We've seen hammerheads off the Brac, and Grand Cayman. I've never seen a whale shark, now that would be awesome!

Although this thread is supposed to be about recent sightings, the last few posts about Mantas has me waxing nostalgic for the encounters that I enjoyed with Molly in days gone by. A little bit of digging turned up these images that I made in 1992, the daylight image, and 1993, the last time that I saw her during a night dive.


I’m booked on the Aggressor for the first two weeks of March, and hope to make the crossing to Little Cayman if Neptune is kind.
