Location. Located just south of the southern headland of Escarceo Point.
Access. 25min by banca east around Escarceo Point to the south of Pink Wall.
Average Depth. 65ft
Maximum Depth. 130ft
Conditions. Usually choppy on the surface, with a strong current, but can get really rough with a fierce current with visibility up to 20m.
This series of several small drop-offs, descending in steps, is best dived as fast drift-dive on an ebb tide. There are plenty of good stony corals, soft corals, fish and invertebrates. There is no point going deeper than 100ft.
