The Wall

Crevasses lined with hundreds of white and yellow anemones

The Wall is a deep wall dive on the Kyrenia coast whose top lies at 25 m. It suits experienced divers, who come for crevasses lined with anemones and for clear, sunlit water that often gives 30 to 40 m of visibility.

Also known as Wall.

The dive

The top of the wall lies at 25 m and its face extends down to 32 m, which keeps the whole dive deep. The crevasses that cut into the wall are decorated with hundreds of white and yellow sea anemones, lit by the sunlight that reaches the face through the clear water.
