Why dive here
With 491+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, dwarf minke whales and eagle rays - Spyglass Wall offers some of Salt Island & Cooper Island's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Spyglass Wall, despite its name, is more of a gentle slope than a sheer drop, making it a comfortable dive for all experience levels. We often find ourselves drifting along, admiring the colourful sponges – particularly the golden and purple tube varieties – that carpet the face. It’s a great spot for watching the smaller stuff: fairy basslets flitting in and out, damselfish guarding their territories, and schools of blue tangs grazing. Keep an eye out for tarpon cruising the deeper sections and rays gliding by.
