Conditions & tides

Channel site — tidal current funnels through here and can run fast, changing quickly with the tide. It is usually strongest around mid-tide and eases near the slack windows below. Dive with a local operator who knows the timing.

About this site

Ulong Wall is a drift dive along a reef wall, with depths from 8 to 25 m and more, visibility of 10 to 30 m or more, and mild current. It is recommended for Discover Scuba and Open Water divers, and it is a good choice for beginners and check dives. Divers drift easily along the reef.

The shallow reef platform has soft and hard corals, with clownfish colonies in anemones. Reef sharks patrol the wall area. At 20 m a coral outcrop stands up from the wall, and turtles, eagle rays, barracuda schools and grey reef sharks gather there, which makes a natural wide-angle stage.

The site is a good first choice for a drift on a wall, because the current is mild and the depths are shallow to moderate.
