DEPTH

Devil’s Grotto San Salvador 25 feet Starting at 25 feet with 3 drop offs to a maximum depth of
45 feet 120 feet. There are enough swim-throughs to explore this
Hole in the Wall San Salvador dive site several times over and never do the same profile.

Riding Walk Wall San Salvador 40 feet a severe angle with 2 cuts in the wall forming a Y shape at
45 feet 90 feet. South of the ridge there is a wide cut starting at 50
Sandy Cliff San Salvador feet, home to a 7 foot high pillar coral. Look out for eagle

Vicky’s Reef San Salvador Dozens of popular wall sites are located along the west-
ern coast to the southern tip of San Salvador Island in the
south-central Bahamas.
Here a spur and grove formation leads to the edge of the
wall. An outstanding coral ridge at 30 -40 feet defines the
dropoff to a second ledge and cave at 130 feet.
A 40 -50 foot reef and wall dive. The wall has a underhang
drop down to 110 feet; expect to see huge elephant ear
sponges and wire coral. Here you can spot the rare whip
coral shrimp, only normally found in Indo-Pacific waters.
This is also a great spot for turtles and reef sharks.
