A steep Bunaken wall with crevices and small caves.
Alung Banua is a Bunaken National Park wall dive known for a steep, near-vertical face cut by cracks and small cave-like features. The typical route follows the wall, pausing at crevices and ledges where reef life gathers. Terrain is dominated by wall scenery with pockets and overhangs rather than a flat reef top. Plan with awareness of overhead areas and keep exploration within training and comfort.
