The Gulley is a West Caicos wall dive where a cut in the reef opens onto a dense coral top and then drops into a vertical wall with undercuts. Divers come for the reef split, the clean wall transition, and the black-coral and sponge structure that lines the drop-off. It is a boat dive for experienced recreational divers who want a classic wall profile with strong coral character and a controlled pace.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay trimmed through the cut and along the wall, especially where the reef undercuts. Tide changes can push water and reduce clarity on the top of the wall.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only from the West Caicos/Providenciales side; the wall profile calls for solid buoyancy control and tide awareness.
Legal Notes
Follow operator guidance and avoid touching coral or the undercut wall structure.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Typical profile described is entering through the reef cut and descending to the wall around 85 ft, with the wall starting near 50 ft.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive site; the wall and undercuts make scuba the appropriate format.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited because the signature features sit on the wall and beyond casual surface range.
