Jackson's Bight, Little Cayman, Ilhas Cayman
Jackson's Wall is one of the named dives of Jackson's Bight, the Marine Park section of Little Cayman's north-shore wall system that extends east of the Bloody Bay Wall. The site begins on the reef plateau at roughly 6 to 8 metres and divers head out to the wall lip, which starts as shallow as 6 metres before plunging vertically beyond 1,800 metres into the deep Caribbean. The wall face is dressed in giant orange elephant-ear sponges, barrel sponges, deepwater sea fans, black coral bushes, sheet corals, rope sponges and yellow tube sponges. Resident wildlife is excellent: Nassau grouper, midnight parrotfish, hawksbill and green turtles, eagle rays, Caribbean reef sharks patrolling the deep blue, schools of horse-eye jacks, queen and French angelfish, blue chromis, Creole wrasse and large midnight parrotfish. The Marine Park's year-round visibility commonly exceeds 30 metres. Light currents and the manageable depth make this an excellent intermediate wall dive, often paired with a Bloody Bay Wall second dive. Best conditions December to May during the dry season.
