    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Palong Wall offers a nice drift along a vertical face, running from the surface down to around 30 metres. We often see schools of fusiliers here, so thick sometimes they can block out the sun, which is pretty cool. Keep an eye out for blue-spotted wrasse flitting among the cracks, and we’ve spotted blacktip reef sharks cruising the deeper sections on more than one occasion. It’s a solid dive for those who enjoy a relaxed drift and don’t mind a bit of current to carry them along.
