Parrot's Landing

[RDangerIII]

Several years ago I went down to Grand Cayman and snorkled at a place called Parrot's Landing, it was about a two block walk to the right of the pier. (still have the t-shirt). Anyway it was basically just a dive shack with live parrot's around but you could rent snorkeling equipment and the had a cool reef right behind the building. There were ton's of Parrotfish and other tropical fish. I can't seem to find anything on it on the web, I'm guessing it went out of business or something happened, but if anyone knows, I'd like some info. Thanks.

Parrot's Landing used an old military bomb casing as a pressure vessel to store compressed air for filling scuba tanks. The casing was never designed to be used as a pressure vessel in this way, and one day it exploded killing an employee. The resultant legal fallout forced the shop to close.

Very sad all the way around. I really liked that place. Did anyone ever take over the property? It was a great place to snorkel. Easy entry into the water, lots of coral and lots of Parrot fish.
