Sorido Wall

Sorido Wall, just a quick boat trip from Soul Scuba Divers, is one of those spots that always delivers. We’ve drifted this wall countless times, and there’s always something new to catch our eye. The reef drops away to 22 metres, but it’s the overhangs and small caves that we love exploring, torch in hand, scanning for the smaller stuff. This place is alive, not just with the usual suspects like snappers and barracuda, but with an almost endless list of the tiny, intricate critters that make Raja Ampat so special. We've spent an entire dive searching for Denise’s pygmy seahorses, tucked away on gorgonian fans, or spotting a zebra eviota darting into a crevice. Look closer and you might find a lined-lip cowrie or a seastar shrimp camouflaged on a sponge. Keep an eye out into the blue for passing white-tip reef sharks; they’re regular visitors here, cruising the current. The average visibility of 18 metres usually means you’ll have a clear view of the action. This site really suits divers who enjoy a slower pace, those who appreciate stopping to really observe the details rather than just swimming through. It's a fantastic spot for photographers too, offering both wide-angle reef scenes and plenty of macro subjects.
