GREAT
WHITE WALL
45-120 ft
The entrance to the wall is a swim-through covered in colorful hard and
soft corals, sponges, and crinoids. Lionfish and morays can frequently
be spotted here. Once you've made your way through the tunnel, the sight
of this dramatically plunging wall blanketed in pristine white coral will
hold your attention. Anthias, gobies, soldierfish, squirrelfish, and fairy
basslets are present, but overshadowed by the stunning terrain.

Several large bommies featuring gorgeous soft coral bouquets of seemingly
every color available. Weave in and out, exploring as you go. Nudibranchs,
gobies, pipefish, and morays may come into view. Leopard sharks and blue-spotted
rays may be resting nearby.
