Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - East Wall offers some of Derawan Islands's richest wall diving.
East Wall in Derawan is a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re just getting comfortable with wall diving. The wall itself drops to a consistent 26 meters, so there’s no pressure to manage tricky depths. We've seen a good variety of reef fish here, lots of butterflyfish and parrotfish meandering along the coral, and sometimes a turtle will cruise by. It's a gentle introduction to the area's diving, perfect for beginners or those just wanting an easy afternoon underwater.
