Long Caye Wall is without doubt Glover's best known dive site. It is a phenomenal sheer drop-off east of Long Caye where you will feel like tumbling over the reef and dropping into the black depths below. This wall is known to exceed 2000 feet not continuously as steep as the first one hundred feet but sheer nevertheless. You will be diving amidst brilliant and colorful coral formations and excellent marine life. Fire corals, healthy elkhorn strands, hydroids, elephant ear sponges and black corals are common. Reef fish, manta rays, spadefish, barracuda, eagle rays, bar jacks and turtles are some of the creatures regularly seen. Most boats drop their anchor before the wall's edge at a white sandy patch at forty feet deep which is home to garden eels and southern stingrays.

Snorkelers can swim towards the shallow reef just offshore Long Caye's east side. The coral formations are prolific all the way to shore so pay attention not to transform the coral into rubble by stepping on it. It might be a bit difficult to enter the waters when the weather is rough, but once there it is one of the top snorkeling spots in the world.
