Advanced Eagle-Ray Point wall dive
Advanced Eagle-Ray Point wall dive
East Wall is Maratua's Eagle-Ray Point: a steep east-side wall dived left shoulder to the reef. Sea fans, black corals, hard and soft coral cover, and frequent shark, ray, and macro sightings make it a classic advanced wall dive.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
The wall reaches 30–35 m; plan depth, gas, and ascent accordingly.
Access Restrictions
Boat-only from Nunukan, Nabucco, or nearby Maratua resorts; advanced wall profile with depth and gas planning required.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A common approach is to dive with the left shoulder toward the wall along the drop-off.
Freediving
Only experienced freedivers should use the shallow top of the wall in calm windows; this is primarily a scuba wall rather than a breath-hold site.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to calm surface conditions near the reef edge; the main spectacle sits below the wall top.
