    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    The Pillar Wall in the Exumas offers a relaxed wall dive, easy for beginners. We've often found queen angelfish gracefully navigating the coral formations along the drop-off to 25 meters. It’s a good spot for a second dive of the day, gentle conditions and reliable visibility.
