    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Friwen Wall is a solid wall dive, one we often swing by when we're in the area. It drops down to about 40 metres, though a lot of the action happens shallower. Look closely along the wall for some real treats: we've had good luck spotting pygmy seahorses here, both Denise's and the more common Bargibant, tucked into gorgonians. Keep an eye out too for the little stuff, like minute triplefins zipping around and the slender snake eel poking its head from sandy patches. It's a great spot for macro enthusiasts, or anyone who enjoys a relaxed drift along a colourful reef face. Currents can vary, so it’s worth checking with your guide on the day.

    Safety Notes

    Strong currents typical this month (avg 35 cm/s). Good buoyancy control essential.
