Why dive here
With 213+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, dolphins, eagle rays, nurse sharks and sea turtles - Lighthouse Reef Wall offers some of Lighthouse Reef's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-30°C, warmest August, September, October.
Dropping straight down into the deep, Lighthouse Reef Wall really delivers on the dramatic. You’re looking at a vertical descent into that classic Caribbean blue, often with huge barrel sponges and black coral trees clinging to the rock face. Keep an eye out for eagle rays gliding past and hawksbill turtles munching away – they’re frequent visitors. We’ve found the currents here can be unpredictable, so it’s a site that suits divers comfortable with a bit of drift and who enjoy keeping an eye on the blue for larger pelagics.
