Sea Wall Garden is a Maratua wall dive with a coral-garden top, a steep drop-off, and a classic Indonesian reef profile that mixes hard and soft corals with plenty of fish life. The site is usually run by boat from the Maratua and Nabucco area, and it works best as a relaxed wall dive when the current is light and the crew can time the entry for calm conditions. Divers come here for colorful structure, steady macro interest, and a tropical reef feel rather than a complicated swim or shore setup.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Stay close to the wall profile, keep buoyancy tight over coral, and be ready for a stronger push if you go deeper.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; use resort or operator boats from Maratua, Nabucco, or Nunukan.
Legal Notes
Follow Derawan conservation-area and reef-protection guidance, including local briefings and no-touch buoyancy practices.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A wall dive to about 20–25 m followed by a sandy slope.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the wall and occasional current make it better suited to scuba with good buoyancy control.
Snorkeling
Mainly a scuba site. Snorkeling only makes sense in very calm, protected windows.
