Cocos East
Yellow Wall boat drift off Cocos Island with clear water and pelagics.
Advanced Guam wall drift off Cocos Island, boat only and calm-sea dependent, with strong visibility, yellow sea fans, and regular pelagic traffic.
About Cocos East
Cocos East, also called Yellow Wall, is Guam's east-wall boat drift off Cocos Island, with a long reef wall, clear water, and dense yellow sea fans. It is an advanced site run only from a boat when seas are calm, and the draw is pelagic movement along the wall rather than an easy casual entry. Plan for drift control, a skipper who is reading the sea state well, and a dive that rewards patience more than quick laps around a shallow reef.
