Boat wall dive off Swansea for intermediate and advanced divers.
Boat access and site knowledge make a local operator the practical way to run the dive.
Chris’ Wall is a boat-access wall dive off the Swansea area of New South Wales, with bommies rising from a sandy bottom and enough flexibility to suit different certifications. It works best as a guided, condition-aware dive where you choose the depth to match the team and work the wall slowly for rays, nudibranchs, octopus, morays, and wobbegongs.

Scuba Diving
Depth can be tailored to diver experience, with options for open-water and advanced divers.
Freediving

Snorkeling
Not a standout snorkel target because the main wall reward is better reached by scuba.
