Yellow wall

Yellow Wall, also known as Secret Garden, is a wall dive site located along the southern coastline of Rinca Island in Komodo National Park, Indonesia (approximately 8°41′S, 119°38′E). The site is named for the dense covering of yellow and orange Dendronephthya soft corals that drape its steep vertical reef wall, which also features hidden alcoves, garden-like ledges, and crevices throughout its length.

The wall drops from as shallow as 5–8 m down to beyond sport diving depths, with a maximum recorded depth around 40 m. The terrain is a continuous steep drop-off running along the southern coastline, with whip corals and sea fans occupying the deeper sections and soft corals dominating the upper and mid portions of the wall.

Marine life at Yellow Wall rewards macro photographers and wide-angle shooters alike. The wall shelters pygmy seahorses, leaf scorpionfish, nudibranchs, and decorator crabs among sea fans and soft coral, while whip corals in the deeper zones host shrimp and gobies. Hawksbill turtles, schools of fusiliers, and triggerfish move through the wall's crevices, and eagle rays or larger pelagics appear occasionally out in the blue water. The best season for the south Komodo sites, including Yellow Wall, is October–April, though June–September also sees good conditions here.
