Why dive here
With 292+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, humpback whales, nurse sharks and orcas - Valan’s Wall, Carriacou offers some of Carriacou's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Valan’s Wall is a Carriacou classic, and for good reason. It’s got that easy, gently sloping reef vibe we love, but with enough architectural interest to keep things exciting. Think big overhangs creating cool shadows, perfect for spotting lobsters tucked deep inside. We’ve often found groups of parrotfish grazing, their crunching audible as you drift along. The current here is usually a gentle push, making it a proper relaxing drift. You’ll spend most of your time at about 12-15 metres, just cruising past the coral formations. Schools of brown chromis flit about, and we’ve had some fantastic encounters with eagle rays gliding gracefully past the wall. Keep an eye out for stingrays nestled in the sand patches too. It’s an ideal dive for those who want a laid-back experience with plenty of subtle beauty to appreciate.
