Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas
Shark Wall, also known simply as 'The Wall' on Stuart Cove's roster, is a vertical drop on the southern edge of New Providence where the reef plummets into the Tongue of the Ocean — a 1,800-meter-deep oceanic trench that runs between New Providence and Andros. Divers cruise along the wall top at around 18 to 20 meters with the abyss yawning to one side and rich coral cover to the other. Black corals, large barrel sponges, and gorgonians decorate the wall, while Caribbean reef sharks patrol just off the edge — the site name comes from the consistent pelagic shark presence rather than a feed. Eagle rays, large groupers, and turtles make regular appearances, and large schools of horse-eye jacks gather on the wall top. Currents can pick up depending on tide and direction. Visibility is typically 25 to 30 meters thanks to the deep oceanic exposure. A classic Bahamian wall dive.
