NX is one of the most impressive dive sites in Providence and St. Catalina. It’s a wall that begins at 100 ft and is deeply excavated by erosion so that it forms an enormous bottomless crevice, which can be explored with precaution and by expert divers up to about 200 ft. There are similar structures to large stairs which define the more than prudent diving limit. The stairs ascend up to a cave situated at 140 ft, which connects with an ascending gorge, a narrow and beautiful chimney which brings one to the edge of the wall, at 100 ft, from which point the ascent to the surface begins.
