Big Fish Wall
Moderate-current wall dive
About Big Fish Wall
Big Fish Wall is the wall-oriented sibling in the Maratua current pair: a sandy coral slope that drops into a deep wall and brings in sharks, rays, and barracuda when conditions line up. The dive is best treated as a moderate-current wall run with the reef on the right shoulder and the shallow top as the natural exit line. It keeps the big-fish energy of the area but feels a little less brute-force than the country site. This is still an advanced profile for divers comfortable with depth, current, and a moving-water wall.

Local Intel For Big Fish Wall
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Commonly dived by following the reef with the right shoulder in moderate current, often finishing on the reef top or in the channel.
Freedive
The wall is too deep and current-aware to be a freedive target in normal planning.
Snorkel
Not a casual snorkel stop; the useful action sits on the wall and in the water column.
