Friwen Wall, Raja Ampat
★★★★☆
(1,371)
This dive site is unique in that it is one of the very few wall dives that the Dampier Straight has to offer. The start of the wall has two small caves where you can spot fish swimming upside down, a strange thing to see for the first time.
The wall is covered with gorgonian fan corals, sponges and whip tail corals right from the bottom of the wall to the surface. It is the perfect wall.
