Friwen Wall
Friwen
A vertical coral wall beside Friwen islet, covered in soft corals and sea fans in vivid colours. The currents are gentle, so novice divers can enjoy it too.
Friwen Wall lies beside Friwen islet, between Waisai and Dampier Strait. It is a coral rock face running from the shallows to about 30 metres deep, covered in brightly coloured soft corals, sea fans and sponges. Nudibranchs, sea turtles, parrotfish and schools of small fish are common. Currents are usually gentle, so you can do a drift dive with an Open Water certificate, and the shallow sections are also good for snorkelling. Friwen village has family homestays, so you can dive right nearby. Book through a local dive shop, and follow your dive guide's instructions on currents.
