Why dive here
With 87+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, thresher sharks, lionfish and pufferfish - Secret Wall offers some of Malapascua's richest wall diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, June, July.
Secret Wall often gets overshadowed by Malapascua’s thresher shark fame, but it’s a solid dive worth exploring. We like hitting it early, just as the light starts to filter down the wall. Keep an eye out for interesting macro stuff tucked into crevices, like various brittle stars, and the occasional camouflaged scorpionfish. It’s a nice alternative when you want a break from the deeper pelagic dives, offering a relaxed pace, though currents can pick up here sometimes. We’ve spotted amberfish cruising the blue too, so don't forget to look out.
