About The Wall - West Cay
The Wall - West Cay is a boat-access wall dive on Bequia's southern tip, starting over a shallow ledge before dropping into deep blue water. The route is drift-friendly rather than casual, with swim-throughs, overhangs, and a current-sensitive finish that suits advanced divers who are comfortable reading the sea. Nurse sharks, barracuda, tarpon, eagle rays, and moray eels are the kind of life this site is known for. Plan it for settled conditions and an operator-led boat dive, not a relaxed shoreline stop.
