About this Dive Site
Description
Embark on a thrilling wall dive at Long Cay, where the reef plunges dramatically into the deep blue from a shallow plateau. Adorned with a tapestry of sponges and corals, this vertical wonderland is a magnet for majestic eagle rays, resting nurse sharks, and a vibrant array of pelagic fish, with hawksbill turtles often making an appearance.
