Local operator required

Usually dived by boat from the Maratua-Nabucco side, following the wall on the right shoulder with clearer water and easier runs in calmer weather.
About Coral Table Dance
Coral Table Dance is a north-tip Maratua wall dive built around a steep face, a gentler mid-slope, and a second drop where large table corals and healthy hard-and-soft reef growth shape the route. Divers usually track the wall on the right shoulder, using the contour to move from dramatic structure into calmer coral sections with plenty of smaller reef life to inspect. It is a scenic boat dive rather than a full drift-channel sprint, but it still feels like open-ocean Maratua. When the flow is manageable, the site suits divers who want classic wall scenery, coral cover, and the chance of passing parrotfish schools within a guided resort circuit.
