The West Caicos Wall is one of the great wall dives of the Caribbean. The wall sits a few hundred metres off the leeward side of the island and begins at about 12 metres, dropping vertically into the abyss. The dives are easy in terms of depth and current, but the scale is spectacular — divers cruise along the lip with the wall on one side and open ocean on the other.
Named dive sites along the wall include Elephant Ear Canyon, Whiteface, the Gully and Sunday Service. Visibility is regularly 30 metres plus. Expect eagle rays, reef and nurse sharks, large groupers, hawksbill turtles and a full set of Caribbean reef fish. Boats run from Providenciales when the weather is calm enough; the 12-kilometre crossing can be choppy.
