About this site
Black Coral Wall is a deep wall dive on the south side of the island, named after the black coral found at around 25 ft (7.6 m) — notably shallower than black coral is typically encountered. It ranks among the deepest walls on that side of the island, with the top of the reef featuring extensive sandy areas.
The reef crest is host to a wide variety of juvenile fish species across its sandy patches, while the wall drops to significant depth below. The black coral that gives the site its name grows at the unusually shallow mark of 25 ft (7.6 m).
Marine life at the site includes Sergeant Majors and Parrot Fish among the juvenile fish on the reef top, with Squid regularly sighted and Tarpon frequently passing through the area.
