Pat’s Wall

Pat’s Wall is one of those East End dives where you really feel the scale of the Cayman Trench. We love that it’s just a five-minute boat ride, but it feels a world away once you drop in. The wall itself starts around 18 metres, then just… drops. You’ll find these incredible coral spurs that jut out, creating canyons you can weave through, sometimes so narrow you’re brushing against the sponges. We’ve seen schools of broad shad so thick here they shimmer like a liquid silver curtain, momentarily blocking out the blue. Keep an eye out for yellowtail parrotfish grazing on the reef, and grey snapper hanging out under ledges. We’ve had a few encounters with chain morays peeking out of holes, and the sponges, especially the barrel sponges, are genuinely massive. It’s a great spot for advanced divers who appreciate a good wall and aren't afraid of a bit of depth. The currents here can sometimes pick up a bit, especially on the corners, so stay aware of your positioning.
