The wall heads off in a south westerly direction and ends in approx 31 meters.It as a few resident anemonefish that take great pride in defending there homes, there are some divers who bare the scares from these tiny little harmless fish,haha. Recently Grey nurse sharks have been seen here as well as Crested Horn Sharks. If you are lucky and come back along the top of the wall you my get to see some of the resident turtles to. There is so much more to see but i cant tell you. You just have to come and see for yourself.
