Dalco wall
Dalco wall
Tell me what this dive is like. Are there different options to follow along the way?

Re: Dalco wall
Dalco Wall is largely a structure dive. The wall is clay and changes over time, but there are usually big slabs that have broken away from the main wall. There may be bore holes from burrowing clams and small critters inhabiting the holes and small overhangs. Sometimes lots of shrimp. It is also quite deep.
I've only done it from a live boat, so we tend to drift slowly with the prevailing current at the time.

Re: Dalco wall
Its a near vertical sandstone wall, the top is around 40ft and the bottom around 140ft. About the only choice to make is what depth. You only want to do it at high slack.

Re: Dalco wall
I thought the bottom was 180?

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

140-180-5000? Matters not to me I won't be going that deep anyway. 130 feet is as deep as I care to dive. In the tropics it's still good vis and wildlife abounds. In the sound I think most of the things I enjoy are much shallower than 130 feet.

Re: Dalco wall
To each their own, I dont even really consider it a dive until I break at least 150 and preferably 200ft.

Re: Dalco wall
I hit 206 fsw at Dalco last year....and it was getting deeper when I headed up for deco
Re: Dalco wall
its a scalloped sandstone wall without as much life as you might expect (on eg basalt or granite) since the sandstone erodes in the current and the bigger organisms fall off.JJHACK wrote:140-180-5000?
