Jemeluk Wall is a beach-entry wall at Jemeluk, where a coral slope of barrel sponges, sea fans and table corals meets the wall face, dived from 3 m down to about 30 m. Current is nil or small, so the run along the face is a relaxed one.
Also known as Jemeluk Wall 1 & 2.
Where it is and how deep
8.3375° S, 115.6621° EApproximate position — the dashed circle shows where the site lies; your operator's briefing has the mooring.
The dive
The dive runs from 3 m at the top down the face to around 30 m, with nil to small current along the way. Barrel sponges, huge sea fans, table corals and big acropora formations cover the slope where it meets the wall. The walls on this stretch continue to 45 m for those with the training to go deeper.
