Southeast Wall
Dive site
Green Island's most dramatic wall dive. The southeast coast drops sheer to 40 metres, lashed by the Kuroshio and adorned with dense gorgonian fans. Barracuda school along the wall edge; blacktip reef sharks patrol the drop-off. Best in the early morning before the current builds.
