Boat wall dive off north Maratua with table corals and macro life.
Iyan's Place is a boat-access wall dive off northern Maratua, usually run as a guided pass along a steep wall, gentler slope, and second wall section. The site stands out for large table corals, healthy hard and soft coral growth, and a macro-heavy reef that becomes more dynamic when tidal flow starts moving along the wall.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Treat Iyan's Place as a guided boat wall dive and plan entries around tidal flow. Less experienced divers should be conservative when current starts building along the wall.
Access Restrictions
This is typically dived through local resorts or dive operators by boat rather than as a public shore-entry site.
