This fantastic wall dive has some great areas of topography including ledges, crevices, nooks, crannies, and a large cave. This is the home for resting nurse sharks and is a fantastic place to see many of them in one place resting on the sandy bottom of the cave. There are not many dive sites in the world where this is possible, but it is very common to find many of these beautiful sharks in this cave.

The dive site is part of the dive sites found on Wetar Island, all of which have fantastic topography, great drop off wall reefs, and great coral coverage. This wall is no exception and the walls are covered with many colourful soft corals and huge sponges. The visibility of the dive site is normally above 30 metres and the dive site has a maximum depth of 40 metres.

The currents here can be very strong and as it is a wall reef, divers should carry dive hooks or dive gloves for those times when they need to grab hold of something. Divers should always be very careful when doing this as what may look like a rock could actually be a stonefish. Divers should also be very careful not to damage any corals or other marine life when they hold on to the wall.

In the deeper parts of the wall dive, along with the nurse sharks, divers can also see other pelagic fish including turtles, eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, and manta rays.
