Jemeluk Secret Wall is a wall on the left side of Jemeluk Bay that begins at 20 m and runs to 40 m. A pinnacle in the middle splits it so divers pass through as if in a canyon, and a huge fan coral near 30 m sometimes holds a pygmy seahorse.

Also known as Secret Wall.

The dive

Divers swim a little from the left side of the bay and head down to nearly 30 m, where a huge fan coral sometimes hides a pygmy seahorse. The wall descends to 40 m, and its central pinnacle lets divers cross it as if through a canyon. White-tip sharks, eagle rays and turtles are seen along it.
