    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Lapu Wall delivers exactly what the name suggests: a coral-encrusted drop-off. We typically find ourselves drifting along, keeping an eye out for resident groupers and the occasional reef shark patrolling the depths. It’s an easy, relaxing drift suitable for most certification levels, especially if you’re keen on wall diving without extreme currents. The real show here is the sheer scale of the reef itself.
