About Carrie Lee Wreck

This scuba dive consists of a freighter wreck which used to carry supplies between the islands.She capsized 15 kilometers East of Grand Cayman after she lost stability.There were numerous attempts to salvage her within a two week period,but all failed. She eventually sunk at a depth of 30 meters but as the years have passed she has drifted deeper on the ocean floor and now lies at a depth between 50 and 80 meters. The bow now sits at a depth of 78 meters while the deck is at a depth of 60 meters slanting up to a depth of 52 meters. This is an interesting wreck dive with good marine life and interesting coral growth.But due to the depth of this vessel it should only be dived by trimix divers

Dive Site Hazards

  • Deceptive Entry Openings — Openings may become restrictive inside due to angle, collapse, or corrosion.

  • Surge-Induced Internal Silt Shift — Internal surge can move silt and debris without direct contact.

  • Partial Overhead Environment — Many wrecks limit direct ascent even without full penetration.

  • Fine Rust Particle Silt-Out — Disturbed rust particles can rapidly reduce visibility.

  • Gradual Narcosis Onset — Narcosis may develop slowly, making self-assessment unreliable.

  • Task Fixation at Depth — Cognitive narrowing at depth can reduce awareness of time and ascent rate.

  • Increased Gas Density Breathing Load — Higher gas density at depth increases work of breathing.
