This dive site, Valan's Wall, is located halfway between Sandy Island and Jack-A-Dan off Carriacou, Grenada. It is primarily experienced as a relaxing drift dive along a gently sloping reef, reaching a maximum depth of 18 meters with an average depth of approximately 9 meters. Divers can expect to navigate along a reef characterized by very interesting topography and huge overhangs.
The marine life at Valan's Wall includes schools of beautiful wrasse, parrotfish, and brown chromis, which are commonly seen swimming around the dusty reef. Huge overhangs provide shelter for lobsters. Keep an eye out for larger pelagic visitors, as stingrays and eagle rays are known to pass by occasionally.
Valan's Wall is suitable for divers of all experience levels due to its relaxing drift conditions and moderate depths. The site's varied topography and marine encounters make it an enjoyable dive. While no specific "best time to visit" is provided, the general dive season in Grenada is year-round, with calmer conditions typically between November and May. It is also suitable for freedivers and snorkelers to explore its shallower sections.
