    Christina's Wall is one of those places that just keeps giving. We love starting shallower, hovering over the top reef where the light plays through schools of fusiliers, before drifting down the wall itself. It’s not the deepest wall dive in Cayman, topping out around 23 meters, but the real show is often in the cracks and crevices. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff – we’ve had some fantastic luck spotting little Goldspot Gobies and even a few Long-snout Seahorses tucked away in the Finger Coral. The Red Hogfish here are particularly bold, often swimming right up to see what you're doing. We’d suggest going in the morning if you can; the light really pops off the coral at that time, and you often get fewer boats around. The visibility is usually excellent, around 20 meters, so you can really appreciate the sheer scale of the wall dropping away below you. If you’re into macro life and leisurely wall drifts, Christina's is a solid pick.
