Air Wall

Air Wall, off Gili Air, offers a real sense of scale. It’s not just a drop, it’s a proper vertical face. We start shallow, drifting over a sandy slope where we’ve often spotted Blue-spotted Stingrays nestled in the sand. Keep an eye out for those big Bumphead Parrotfish near the bommies; they’re regular residents here. The wall itself drops to a reported 19 metres, though it feels deeper sometimes with the way it just keeps going. What we love about Air Wall is the sheer density of hard corals. We’re talking Staghorn and Table corals, especially in the shallower sections, providing excellent hiding spots for smaller reef fish. Visibility averages around 17 metres, which is decent enough to appreciate the full extent of the wall. We’ve had some fantastic encounters with Whitetip Reef Sharks cruising along the base, and once, a fleeting glimpse of a Dusky Shark further out. This site is great for divers who appreciate dramatic topography and a reliable chance of seeing some larger pelagics in the blue.
