Why dive here
With 236+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), pygmy seahorses and sea turtles - Fam Wall offers some of Raja Ampat's richest wall diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Dropping into Fam Wall, the first thing that hits you is the sheer verticality. It’s a proper wall dive, starting shallow and just… going down. We’ve found pygmy gobies everywhere here, from the tiny Yellow-red to the Meshed Pygmygoby, tucked into every crack and crevice. Look closely, and you might spot a Denise’s pygmy seahorse clinging to a fan. This site is excellent for macro lovers with a good eye and a steady hand. Currents can vary, so keep an eye on your dive guide and enjoy the slow drift along the reef face.
Safety Notes
Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
