CoCo View Wall

CoCo View Wall is the deeper continuation of the Front Porch system on the south shore, a steep drop-off that begins where the house reef ends and extends along the front of the resort. From the mooring divers descend the sand chute to roughly 15 meters and then turn onto the wall, which runs from 18 down to over 40 meters. The wall is densely covered with deep-water sea fans, tube and rope sponges, pillar coral on the shoulders and clusters of black coral; large barrel sponges punctuate the upper face. Marine life is consistently rich: hawksbill turtles, green moray, queen angelfish, schooling creole wrasse, midnight parrotfish and frequent spotted eagle ray fly-bys. The wall is a reliable site for spotting Caribbean reef shark in deeper water during the cooler months. Conditions are typically mild; visibility averages 20 to 30 meters.
