About FRIWEN WALL
Friwen Wall is a boat-access wall dive in the Friwen area where the reef starts shallow and then drops into a vertical run of soft corals, gorgonians, and overhangs. It is a good site for divers who want a wall profile that stays photogenic from the top down, with the option to drift when the current wakes up. The shallow edge also makes it a useful snorkel site in calm conditions, but the real character comes from the wall, the coral growth, and the steady macro search along the reef face.
