Depth is the range from the top of the site to its usual maximum; "recommended cert" is the mainstream-agency level operators usually ask for, not a legal rule. Currents and visibility change daily — treat everything here as planning ranges.

Randy's Gazebo bundles Bloody Bay's best tricks into one mooring. A natural arch stands proud of the wall like a folly in a formal garden — the gazebo — framing divers against blue for the trip's inevitable portrait. Nearby, a chimney swallows you at the shelf and lowers you through the reef's interior, past sponge-lined walls, to an exit on the vertical face. Between set pieces the wall does its quiet Little Cayman work: crinoids waving from vase sponges, arrow crabs in the crevices, a grouper auditing every diver in turn. Deservedly the bay's most requested site.

The moment you come for: The arch, the chimney descent through the reef, dense wall decoration.

Topography: Wall face sculpted into an arch — the gazebo — plus a chimney threading from the shelf through the lip.

Entry: Bloody Bay mooring; the named features sit just seaward of the lip.

Know before you splash

Hazards: Brief overhead in the chimney; depth beyond the exits.

Conservation: Marine-park moorings and no-touch rules; the chimney is one-diver-at-a-time by unwritten law.

Nitrox: Worth it here — profiles sit in the range where enriched air meaningfully extends no-stop time (with the training to use it).
