Hi Shannon, there really is no place to enter small wall from the shore. It is in a residential area, and there is no access, and the beaches are considered "private." Boat dive is really the only way to dive small wall (unless you are friends with a homeowner that is in the area:-))

Cynde,
Did you forget to include staying at the Black Durgon Inn as another way of diving Small Wall? We are in the process of making reservations at the Durgon, primarily because we wanted Small Wall as the house reef. Did I make a logistical error? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jane,

No:-) I assumed Shannon was staying elsewhere, and was inquiring how to do a shore dive at small wall, and unless you are staying at a house, or Black Durgeon (only guests of Black Durgeon are allowed to dive off their dock) it is a boat dive:-) I have heard great things about the Black Durgeon Inn, I'm sure you will have a wonderful time:-) Here is their doc from Jake and Linda's backyard:-)

Hello Everybody,
During my visit in februari i did Small Wall from shore.
Parked the car just North of Hato and got in the water, swimming on the surface for 15 a 20 minutes to get at the Small Wall-site, passing a boat which was laying at the mooring buoy and asked the divers onboard where exactly the underwatercamera was located.
Been at the cam for 3/4 of my air, then got back to my entrypoint for the most part underwater.
