About Lobster Wall

Lobster Wall is a deep Mabul wall-and-plateau dive with sea fans, a small cave, and a pygmy seahorse section that rewards careful scanning of the wall. It is more technical than the easier Mabul reefs, with depth and current making it better suited to experienced divers.

Local Intel For Lobster Wall

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba Diving

This is a deep-wall scuba site for experienced divers who can hold position on current and move slowly along sea fans and ledges.

Freediving

Not a practical freedive site because the wall drops away quickly and current can be strong.
