    Anchor Point is one of those spots where Grand Cayman really shows off its wall diving. We’re talking a proper, dramatic drop-off, the kind that makes you feel like you’re flying over an abyss. The mooring itself is right there on the wall, pin depth around 17 metres, which means you’re immediately into the good stuff. We love dropping down and just drifting along the edge, watching for oceanic triggerfish patrol the blue. Visibility here is usually excellent, around 20 metres on an average day, giving you a clear view of the deep. Keep an eye out for the Stippled Clingfish, they're tiny but fascinating to watch as they hold on tight to the corals. We’ve also spotted some chunky Hogfish picking their way through the reef, and the Black Morays often peek out from their crevices. There’s a neat little swim-through just off the mooring, forward and towards the wall – it’s a quick dart through but adds a bit of fun. Current can be mild to moderate, so be prepared for a drift, it just means less finning for you. This site is a solid pick for anyone who loves a good wall dive with plenty of nooks and crannies to explore.
