Wall Diving

Wall diving is the term used to describe a dive where divers will be gradually scaling down the edges of an underwater reef or cliff face. These cliff faces typically start from shallow waters and then suddenly drop off into the depths of the oceans.

What’s fascinating about wall dives is the sheer number of marine life you will find along the dives wall. Expect to see corals that grow at an angle, schools of fish and other critters that live in symbiosis with the surrounding corals, and not to mention the coral reefs themselves that grow at odd protruding angles hoping to catch the sun’s rays.

The actual diving itself presents its own unique sets of challenges. A wall dive typically implies a deep dive. Therefore it takes careful planning and knowledge of the surrounding waters. There will be directional currents going up and down the wall that divers need to be aware of. And close attention to the depth gage is vital to prevent divers from getting disoriented due to not having any seafloor as a reference.
