Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Eagle Ray Wall offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Eagle Ray Wall, out in Lighthouse Reef, is one of those deeper sites we keep coming back to. We typically start around 30 feet, then follow the sheer wall down to a ledge sitting between 115 and 145 feet. Down there, you’ll see some impressive black coral trees, really lush and old. We often find dense shoals of snapper and jacks hanging out in the blue. The real draw, though, is right there in the name: those graceful eagle rays often glide by. Spend your safety stop exploring the reef top in the 15-18 foot shallows; it’s surprisingly rich in smaller stuff – flamingo tongue cowries, nudibranchs, and plenty of little reef fish. It’s a good choice for divers comfortable with a bit more depth who appreciate both big pelagics and intricate macro life.
