    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Kinasi Wall offers a gentle introduction to wall diving, dropping to 18m. It’s a good spot for newer divers to practice buoyancy along a vertical reef face. You’ll typically find schooling fusiliers here and the occasional reef shark patrolling the depths below. It suits those looking for an easy, shallow dive.
