Carriacou drift wall with overhangs and broad reef life.
Valan's Wall, Carriacou is a boat dive between Sandy Island and Jack-A-Dan, with a sloping reef and large overhangs that give the site its shape. The drift is relaxing rather than aggressive, and the wall holds lobsters, wrasse, parrotfish, brown chromis, and the occasional ray. It suits divers who want an easy Carriacou drift with enough topography to stay interesting.
