The Sponge Belt, with sites such as Nancy's Chute, Dan's Donut, Funky Town and Elephant Ear abound at depths ranging from 200-330fsw/60-100msw The wall offers a host of exciting dives that have chutes, swim through's, holes, donuts and more.

Sponges nestled in the overhangs grow to enormous sizes and range in shades of pastels and translucent colors. Trimix divers are invited to visit this pristine world in the clear, warm Caribbean waters in Cayman.

CARRIE LEE
The Carrie Lee wreck sits in 165-260fsw/50-80msw off the southern end of Grand Cayman. Commissioned (Grand Turk) as a freighter to carry goods between Cayman Brac and Grand Cayman, she made weekly runs of container loads between the islands carrying supplies. Heading for Cayman Brac from Grand Cayman in 1985, the Carrie Lee met with misfortune and capsized approximately 10 miles east of Grand Cayman. With a full container load on her top deck and being void below, she lost stability, capsized and drifted back south of Grand Cayman. Tow attempts were made for 2 weeks to salvage and right her, but eventually she sunk in 100fsw/30msw. The Carrie Lee has twice slid down the sloping top of the wall, resting today right on the edge of the drop-off, with her bow tipping over the edge of the abyss. From the top of the wheelhouse at 165fsw/50msw, she slopes down with her bow out over the wall. The bottom of the bow sits in 260fsw/79msw, with the majority of her deck in the 200fsw/60msw to 170fsw/52msw range. A great site for Trimix divers, a trip over the wall coming up to see the Carrie Lee waiting can be accomplished. Today, the Carrie Lee is abundant with an overgrowth of encrusting and tube sponges and corals. A large variety of marine life has made their home here.
