Catalina Wall

Also known as: The Wall · Santa Catalina Wall · La Pared

The dive starts over a shallow coral slope and leads to the edge of the wall, where the reef drops into deep blue water. Sponges and corals are densest along the rim, and ScubaFun finds the wall most beautiful between about 12 and 18 m. How deep divers go depends on certification; Blue Dreams sets a limit of 30 m for advanced divers. Rays, turtles and larger fish are possible along the face. It is normally the first dive of a Catalina day trip from Bayahibe, followed by the shallow Aquarium.
