Perpendicular Wall
Why dive here
With 108+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, grey reef sharks, manta rays and mobula rays (devil rays) - Perpendicular Wall offers some of Christmas Island's richest wall diving. Water ranges 27-29°C, warmest March, April, May.
Bango offers a gently sloping reef, perfect for leisurely drifts. We often spot schooling fusiliers here, along with the occasional reef shark patrolling the deeper sections. It’s a relaxed dive, good for photographers or anyone wanting to take their time exploring the coral formations. While not a high-octane site, it delivers consistent, enjoyable diving.
