The Wreck of the Doc Polson & Hidden Killer Pillar Coral Reef in Grand Cayman

The Cayman Islands has now 365 dive sites to choose from. It will take many years of scuba diving to be able to visit them all.
Doctor Polson was the Diving Doctor of the islands for many years and took care of many divers.
A barge was sunk to make a dive site during the early 90's and was named in his honor. A very popular wreck site located in the West Bay bight in about 50 feet of water. The wreck is adjacent to a very healthy reef and attracts great marine life.
Another beautiful reef is "Hidden Killer Pillar Coral Reef". This reef was kept as a "secret location" for several years. It was discovered by Don Foster's Dive staff ( www.donfosters.com ) while exploring new sites and it remained an "anchor drop" for a long time. The reef is located close to where the old Royal Palms Hotel and Don Foster's Dive headquarters used to be.
Both, the wreck and the reef are only accessible by boat. Do not miss them!!!
