Thank you so much for your pictures and wonderful snorkeling guide. I've never heard of this wreck before but since my name is Kathleen I have a taken an interest in her! We will be visiting Grand Cayman and Cayman Brac in October and I will make a special effort to visit the site. While we are on GC we will stay at the Turtle Nest Inn in Bodden Town. This will be out 3rd time staying at the TNI and we always enjoy the snorkeling right out in front of the hotel, so thank you for including the site in your guide!

Happy to be of assistance. Hope you get to see the Geneva Kathleen. The wreckage is pretty spread out, so make sure to canvas the entire area from the bluff to the reef.

Taken in Little Cayman August 27, 2012. I love the angelic appearance of yellowheaded jawfish.

Thanks, it was a technique shown to me by a photographer that lives on GC. I'm generally on island during the winter months, and appreciate having like minded souls to dive with. My shore dives are usually long and shallow, which many find far too boring for their liking..

Another 'map' shot: the Brac's Radar Reef (northside):



The 'X' indicates the dolphin statue.

And the red line indicates the old telephone cable that runs from the Brac over to either Grand Cayman or Jamaica (I've heard both)...and points roughly north (to the left). Shore diving entry/exit (next to the pier) would be down in the lower right corner.
