About Meridian Drop
Meridian Drop is a boat-access wall dive off Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach with a reef edge, a bright sandy patch, and a smaller mini wall lined with orange elephant ear sponges. The broad sandy shoulder is a good place to pause for eagle rays and turtles, while triggerfish and other reef fish keep the wall section lively.
