Villablanca Wall

Villablanca Wall always throws up something interesting. It's a slope, really, more than a sheer drop, but don't let that fool you. The current here keeps things clean, which means the sponges and corals are in cracking shape. We love gliding past the massive barrel sponges and the intricate basket sponges, often catching a glimpse of a sleepy tarpon tucked away. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the Cherub Pygmy Angelfish darting among the coral or a Caribbean reef squid flashing colours. While you *can* fin it out from shore, we'd never recommend it. You'll spend half your bottom time getting there and back, and frankly, the entry isn't ideal. This is a boat dive, pure and simple. We usually hit it early, before the crowds, when the light catches the gorgonians just right. Visibility averages 25m, so you get a good long look at the reef structure stretching out. It's an easy drift, suitable for most divers looking for a relaxed but rewarding wall experience.
