Kittiwake knocked over in storm
In October of 2017, Hurricane Nate passed about 280 miles west of the Cayman Islands. While at the time of it's closes approach, the storm surge was still strong enough to knock the wreck of the USS Kittiwake onto it's port side. Before the ocean even calmed down, rumors of the destruction of the Kittiwake were rampant across Grand Cayman, and across social media. 2 days after the storm, the team from Divetech investigates what sort of condition she was in.

Masses of seaweed invade West Bay
Weeks after government workers cleared 200 tons of sargassum from Grand Cayman’s coastlines, the invasive seaweed has returned to the island.
Fresh masses of the plant began accumulating this week in West Bay, with thick mats gathering around the West Bay Dock and Cemetery Beach. Lesser quantities were observed in Prospect.
The impact was also felt in Cayman Brac, where large masses began to build up around the southwest side of the island.
Back in Grand Cayman, Divetech’s Courtney Criswell said the accumulation around West Bay Dock had caused some difficulty entering the water, but that overall, dive operations had not been negatively impacted.
“The thickness of it has caused a little bit of issues for some of the boat handling coming in and out, just because it’s so deep. It hasn’t prevented anybody [from diving], but it has caused people to need to be a little more careful coming in and out of there,” Criswell said.
“But once you get away from shore, the patches of it and everything haven’t been any issue for the diving. It hasn’t affected the visibility.”
She said diving under the mats can be a bit eerie, but that up close, they give a snapshot of a living ecosystem, full of juvenile fish and other marine life.
“We’ve kind of theorised that it might be one of the reasons we’ve seen an increase in the sighting of seahorses over the past months,” she said.
“At our store location at Lighthouse Point, we’ve had a couple of sightings of seahorses out in that area. They tended to be few and far between before. But we’ve seen them more recently than in the past.”
Workers from Vivo restaurant at North West Point said they had not yet experienced a negative impact from the sargassum.
With the seaweed only having washed ashore in recent days, most of it had not yet decomposed, so the foul smell associated with the plant had not fully set in.
Environmental concerns
The Department of Environment advised that heavy equipment for sargassum clean up can be detrimental to turtle nesting. Read the full story at

Return to the Kittiwake
Earlier this year, a Michigan resident visited Cayman to see his erstwhile home, which happens to be located at the bottom of the sea.
The visitor was former US Navy sailor Pete Larson, who was stationed on the USS Kittiwake from 1986-1989. The Kittiwake was decommissioned in 1994 and sunk in 2011 in the waters off Seven Mile Beach, where it serves as one of the Caribbean’s most popular dive sites.
Larson’s visit in February was captured on video by Divetech and published online this week.
“When we jumped in and swam towards the wreck, I was thinking about what it was going to look like when it came up to me,” Larson said on the video.
Larson, who worked as an engineer on the ship, said some areas of the boat were familiar to him, while other rooms he didn’t remember at all. He said he was surprised to see some of the expensive equipment left on the vessel.
“The reduction gear I was surprised to see still on it,” he said. “That was so expensive the Navy leased them and didn’t own them – it was the one thing I for sure thought would be gone.”
Larson said he was also surprised to see the vessel stripped bare of paint, considering how much the Navy members were required to paint the ship.
The 251-foot-long USS Kittiwake, a Chanticleer-class submarine rescue vessel, was launched in 1945. One of its most high-profile missions came in 1986, when it recovered the black box from the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.
Larson said his trip beneath the waves to explore the Kittiwake was a memorable one.
“Nostalgic would be a good word to use when you look at something you haven’t seen in 30 years. But it was pretty cool to be back on it, to see it again, to see how it continues on – not cut up in a Louisiana shipyard for scrap metal,” he said. “It actually has a purpose now.” Read the full story at caymancompass.com.
