    My favorite dive site in the world. Even when I lived there I didn't get to do it nearly enough. Shame about the weather, on a sunny day the visibility is unearthly- you can see huge undefined shapes over a hundred feet below you. I'm guessing Green turtles the size of VW Beetles.

      Thank you! Yes definitely sucks for the shark but luckily it will probably disintegrate!

    Hey Nick! I absolutely loved the North Wall dives when I was there. We went down to a little over 100 feet. And even at that depth, the wall was simply stunning!! So much life in and around every little crevice. So beautiful. Glad you got to see it! 😁

    Thanks a lot! Great movie about a wonderful place.
    On top of the general excitement, I am very happy to see an "old friend" - the shark with the rest of the fishing line. I do believe it is the same one. I met it on October 15th on the opposite, very east side of the North wall. The fishing line hanging behind it was VERY long, a hundred feet as the minimum... probably longer. I found the line moving along the reef in front of me and succeeded in cutting about half of it. The shark was already far away. However, it did not go away and made another circle nearby. This time I already had a knife in my hand and cut another portion of the line as close to the shark as I could reach. Then it swam away with the short residual line that you can see in the movie.

    Did seeing Snooty forever diminish your excitement for “regular” sharks? 🙂

    Love your attitude. I am a little worried about the light in the eyes of the turtle. If it isn’t I apologize but looks like it.

    • @DiveSAGA

      Generally that's really not a problem. They typically also don't stare right into the light source, just like other animals or humans wouldn't. If marine life doesn't like the situation, they leave. Just like the turtle did after a while. That's also the best cue to just let them go.

    In the comments to another video with Grand Cayman Wall some guy left comment that it is dangerous to swim/dive right at the dropoff, as in there you get risk of being sucked down by some strong currents or whatever forces are there at play right at the edge of the dropoff.
    I personally doubt it, but I would love to hear your professional opinion, as I am personally very scared of water heights)
    Thank you!

      A "down welling" as it's called, is indeed a phenomenon that can exist but we did not experience any at the North Wall. That being said, I am not an expert on this location so maybe there's a chance of it on some days? Nobody really seemed particularly stressed about it there 🙂

      40 years diving in Cayman Islands walls, only occasional known for the up welling of cold water coming up the wall. Never heard of a down welling.
