Aquamarine Wall
Dive site
The outer barrier reef wall on South Water Caye's eastern face begins at 12 m and drops beyond 60 m in a series of coral-draped ledges. Black coral forests start at 25 m, and Caribbean reef sharks cruise the blue water below the wall crest while turtles graze the shallow reef flat above.
