About Sorido Wall
Sorido Wall is a boat dive off Kri Island in Raja Ampat, with a steep coral wall that drops from a shallow garden into deeper blue water. Overhangs and small caves break up the wall, while fusiliers, surgeonfish, reef sharks, and barracuda use the current-swept edge. It is a torch-friendly wall dive that rewards confident buoyancy and good current timing. Expect a classic Dampier Strait profile: dramatic, fish-rich, and best with an experienced guide.
