The relatively narrow trough trends east-northeast to west-southwest and has a maximum depth of 7,686 metres (25,217ft). Within the trough is a slowly spreading north-south ridge which may be the result of an offset or gap of approximately 420 kilometres (260mi) along the main fault trace. The Cayman spreading ridge shows a long-term opening rate of 11–12 mm/yr. The eastern section of the trough has been named the Gonâve Microplate. The Gonâve plate extends from the spreading ridge east to the island of Hispaniola. It is bounded on the north by the Oriente and Septentrional fault zones. On the south the Gonâve is bounded by the Walton fault, the Jamaica restraining bend and the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone. The two bounding strike slip fault zones are left lateral. The motion relative to the North American Plate is 11 mm/yr to the east and the motion relative to the Caribbean Plate is 8 mm/yr.
100 foot descent into the abyss of the Cayman Trench
The Cayman Islands were formed millions of years ago due to volcanic activity and tectonic shifting. One of the deepest parts of the Atlantic Ocean, the Cayman Trough is an incredible 22,000 feet deep. The undersea walls around Little Cayman Island plunge 6,000 almost straight down. Divers can swim out over the edge and descend into an abyss that holds beautiful and mysterious sights. The usual fish are less plentiful this far from the surface but the wall still teems with life. Massive sponges of all colors thrive. These sponges attract the critically endangered Hawksbill turtle as it looks for food. Divers can only stay in this mysterious world a short time or they risk a dangerous increase in nitrogen levels in their blood. To give them more time at depth, they carry tanks of nitrox, a ...

Eagle Ray Pass, Diving the Drop Off - Grand Cayman
In 2014, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to spend some time working at Cathy Church's Photo Centre in Grand Cayman. Cathy kindly let some of us take her own boat out on our day off to go where ever we wanted. We headed north to one of Grand Cayman's premier sites, Eagle Ray Pass. Located on the north wall it has a dramatically steep and breathtaking drop off to the main wall with a stunning natural archway. It was incredible to look down into the deep blue depths suspended over thousands of feet of water. We enjoyed amazing visibility that day and the whole dive site to ourselves apart from a couple of Eagle Rays swimming past.

Deep Submarine Dive - Cayman Trench
I chartered a submarine in Roatan, Honduras to dive 2000 feet deep for a 4 hour dive into the Cayman Trench (aka the Cayman Trough, Bartlett Deep, Bartlett Trough). This was dive number 15 for that submarine to 2000 feet depth. That was the maximum dive depth limit for that submarine on January 18, 2005. There were some technical issues which needed to be overcome before the depth limit could get closer to the 3000 feet hull crush depth. I believe that more people have climbed Mount Everest than have been 2000 feet underwater.
I dedicated this video to the memory of my soulmate, Cricket Garrison. Please see her memorial website and underwater memorial tribute video at cricketspad.com.

Submersible dives to Cayman Trough deep-sea vents
GoPro camera footage from dives by UK scientists in Japan's Shinkai6500 submersible to deep-sea vents in the Cayman Trough, as part of RV Yokosuka expedition YK13-05 led by Prof Ken Takai of JAMSTEC in June 2013.
Includes footage from the first dive by a human-occupied vehicle to the world's deepest known hydrothermal vents--the Beebe Vent Field at a depth of ~5 km (3.1 miles)--and the first human-occupied vehicle dives to the Von Damm Vent Field at a depth of 2.3 km (1.43 miles) on the top of an underwater mountain.

The Cayman Trench is visible within this video past where the dive boat is moored and the water darkens. The depth of the ocean drops immediately from a few feet to a few thousand feet at the Cayman Trench. The Cayman Trench may also be known as the Cayman Trough and is a popular destination for wall divers. Even if you're not a diver and are in Grand Cayman, you can have a great view of the Cayman Trench from Stingray City. Please share this video and subscribe to the IrixGuy Adventure Channel (http://youtube.com/IrixGuy) and enjoy all of my travel videos!
