Best for intermediate divers, 9-45m, boat entry, variable current.
Pillar Wall in the Exumas is a multi-layered site featuring a shallow reef starting at 9 metres that transitions into a wall dropping to 45 metres. The topography includes cave sections that create an overhead environment, requiring careful navigation and awareness. Conditions are variable, with currents that can shift significantly, making pre-dive briefings with boat operators essential. Due to the depth and overhead features, this site is suited for intermediate divers with appropriate certification. Divers must use a surface marker buoy at all times to maintain visibility to boat traffic. Access is exclusively by boat, and divers should plan their ascent carefully to avoid potential vessel collisions.

The cave sections create an overhead environment, so if you are not cavern-trained, stay within the light zone and keep a clear line of sight to the exit. Confirm current conditions with your boat operator on the day, as variable flow can significantly affect how you approach the wall.
