Black Coral Wall 7 16.08324 -86.91696 There are 3 bouys at Black Coral Wall, this is a great site for night diving and seeing Octopus and other night time creatures, if you get in just before dusk and swim along the top edge of the wall going east you will see fish spawning, there are also many cleaning stations here where you can just hover and watch, the name comes from the Black Coral that grows here, it is easily seen and at this specific site grows very shallow, towards the shore there is a large sand patch that always seems to have something going on such as Peacock Flounders mating, a very enjoyable and pretty site.
