About this site
North Wall is a wall dive at the Silk Cayes, off Placencia in Belize, and one of the most popular dives from Placencia. The dive begins at 24.4 metres (80 feet) and works up to 12.2 metres (40 feet), where divers can climb to the crest of the ridge. It is graded intermediate.
The wall is known for almost every kind of Caribbean reef creature, including a few reef sharks that hang out along the ridge, and the occasional whale shark has been sighted.
