The Cayman Trough, (also known as the Cayman Trench, Bartlett Deep and Bartlett Trough) is a complex transform fault zone pull-apart basin which contains a small spreading ridge on the floor of the western Caribbean Sea between Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. It is the deepest point in the Caribbean Sea and forms part of the tectonic boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. It extends from the Windward Passage, going south of the Sierra Maestra of Cuba toward Guatemala. The transform continues onshore as the Motagua Fault, which cuts across Guatemala and extends offshore under the Pacific Ocean, where it intersects the Middle America Trench subduction zone.
The relatively narrow trough trends east-northeast to west-southwest and has a maximum depth of 7,686 metres (25,217 ft). Within the trough is a slowly spreading north-south ridge which may be the result of an offset or gap of approximately 420 kilometres (260 mi) 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.
A Service Desk is a primary IT service within the discipline of IT service management (ITSM) as defined by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). It is intended to provide a Single Point of Contact ("SPOC") to meet the communication needs of both users and IT staff. But also to satisfy both Customer and IT Provider objectives. "User" refers to the actual user of the service, while "Customer" refers to the entity that is paying for service.
A significant number of organizations have implemented a central point of contact for handling customer, user and other issues. The service desk types are based on the skill level and resolution rates for service calls. The different service desk types include:
The ITIL approach considers the service desk to be the central point of contact between service providers and users/customers on a day-to-day basis. It is also a focal point for reporting incidents (disruptions or potential disruptions in service availability or quality) and for users making service requests (routine requests for services).
The Caribbean Sea (Spanish: Mar Caribe) is a sea of the Atlantic Ocean located in the tropics of the Western Hemisphere. It is bounded by the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico and Central America to the west and southwest, to the north by the Greater Antilles starting with Cuba, to the east by the Lesser Antilles, and to the south by the north coast of South America.
The entire area of the Caribbean Sea, the numerous islands of the West Indies, and adjacent coasts, are collectively known as 'the Caribbean'. The Caribbean Sea is one of the largest seas and has an area of about 2,754,000 km2 (1,063,000 sq mi). The sea's deepest point is the Cayman Trough, between the Cayman Islands and Jamaica, at 7,686 m (25,220 ft) below sea level. The Caribbean coastline has many gulfs and bays: the Gulf of Gonâve, Gulf of Venezuela, Gulf of Darién, Golfo de los Mosquitos, Gulf of Paria and Gulf of Honduras.
The Caribbean Sea is proven to have the second biggest barrier reef in the world. This is called the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. It runs 1,000 km (620 mi) along the coasts of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras.
The Caribbean (/ˌkærᵻˈbiːən/ or /kəˈrɪbiən/; Spanish: Caribe; Dutch: Caraïben ; Caribbean Hindustani: कैरिबियन (Kairibiyana); French: Caraïbe or more commonly Antilles) is a region that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands (some surrounded by the Caribbean Sea and some bordering both the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean), and the surrounding coasts. The region is southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and the North American mainland, east of Central America, and north of South America.
Situated largely on the Caribbean Plate, the region comprises more than 700 islands, islets, reefs, and cays. (See the list.) These islands generally form island arcs that delineate the eastern and northern edges of the Caribbean Sea. The Caribbean islands, consisting of the Greater Antilles on the north and the Lesser Antilles on the south and east (including the Leeward Antilles), are part of the somewhat larger West Indies grouping, which also includes the Lucayan Archipelago (comprising The Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands) north of the Greater Antilles and Caribbean Sea. In a wider sense, the mainland countries of Belize, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana are also included.

Alan Evans made this movie in 2008 showing a 3D fly-thru of coarse regional bathymetry of the Cayman Trough prior to our expedition to the Mid-Caymann Spreading Centre where we discovered the deepest hydrothermal vent field known, the Beebe Vent Field.
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. The video was shot on 8mm MiniDV tape using a Panasonic Palmcorder in 2005. The video quality is poor b...

Known as "black smokers", these vents eject water hot enough to melt lead and surprisingly is teeming with creatures able to live under extreme conditions.

Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are among the most extreme environments on the planet. Much is still unknown about the species living here, but mining companies are trying to exploit the rich source of minerals.

Dive #1349 of the Shinkai6500, 21 June 2013, was the first dive by a human-occupied vehicle to the world's deepest known undersea volcanic vents: the Beebe Vent Field, ~5 km m (~3.1 miles) deep in the Cayman Trough of the Caribbean Sea. For further details, see http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/jul/05/five-thousand-metres-sea-hydrothermal-vents Aboard the sub were pilot Yoshitaka Sasaki, co-pilot Yudai Tayama, and UK scientist Dr Jon Copley (University of Southampton). The dive took place during expedition YK 13-05 of the research ship RV Yokosuka, led by Prof Ken Takai of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), as part of the QUELLE 2013 ("Quest for the Limit of Life") round-the-world voyage of the ship.

Expedition divers will travel to the Cayman Islands to explore the Cayman Trench aboard a deep sea submersible. Divers will also examine the shallow coral reef and its nocturnal residents. In addition, this program will document the progress of a former Soviet warship sunk as an artificial reef off the coast of Cayman Brac. The rays of 'Stingray City' will also be featured.

2D Version : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUluX5fis28 3D footage of my dive vacation with my family thanks to the folks over at Dive Tech down in Grand Cayman.
This is an absolutely gorgeous deep wall dive off the northeast shore of Grand Cayman. There are two swim throughs that lead out to the edge of the 6000 foot drop off into the Cayman Trench. The dive starts at one of the swim throughs and ends at the other. Lots of hard coral, gorgonians and black coral are found on this site.
The Bernina Pass (el. 2328 m.) (Italian: Passo del Bernina) is a high mountain pass in the Bernina Range of the Alps, in the canton of Graubünden (Grisons) in eastern Switzerland. It connects the famous resort town of St. Moritz in the Engadin valley with the Italian-speaking Val Poschiavo, which ends in the Italian town of Tirano in Valtellina.
