Rock Wall: Mirissa boulder reef boat dive
Rock Wall: Mirissa boulder reef boat dive
Boat pickup from Mirissa harbor and site logistics are handled by local dive centers.
Rock Wall is a Mirissa boat dive built around a sloping boulder reef. The site is easy to reach from the harbor, and the rock clusters create hiding places for fish, octopus, and cuttlefish while hawksbill turtles cruise past the structure. It is a good fit for relaxed boat diving, steady buoyancy, and divers who like a mix of reef life and small-scale structure.

Watch your buoyancy over the boulders, keep space around the crevices, and stay aware of the boat during pickup and exit.
