Classic Exuma wall dive with shark action.
Blacktip Wall is a classic Exuma wall dive with rocky canyons, a steep drop-off, and plenty of shark action. It is a boat-only site that rewards good buoyancy, clear-water conditions, and a deliberate depth plan rather than a casual shallow reef approach. When the water is clean and the current is right, the wall can deliver a very strong Bahamas pelagic day.
