Jack Mckenney's Wall

Jack McKenney's Wall lies off Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean known for its dramatic drop-offs into deep water close to shore. The site is named after the underwater filmmaker and photographer Jack McKenney, who was closely associated with diving in the Caymans. It reaches a maximum depth of around 30.5 metres and is rated technical. Divers have reported angelfish, eagle rays, grouper, reef sharks, and sea turtles along the wall. Sites along this coast are typically reached by boat from operators on Grand Cayman.
