About Castle Wall
Castle Wall is a moored North Shore wall dive in Grand Cayman with clear water, steep coral relief, and an easy boat setup. The site is known for eagle rays, loggerhead turtles, nurse sharks, barracuda, and reef sharks moving along the wall, with sponges and coral heads adding color to the drop-off. It works well for scenic wall diving when the sea is calm.
