Dive-site story
Situated in the Fam Islands of Raja Ampat, Keruw Wall drops off beside a small karst islet into current-swept blue water. The vertical limestone face is coated in gorgonian sea fans, soft corals, and encrusting sponges before easing into a rubble slope. Divers drifting along the contour often spot macro critters clinging to the fans while pelagics patrol out in the blue.
Dense sea fan forests sheltering camouflaged pygmy seahorses
Overhangs where wobbegong sharks rest on sandy ledges
Schooling fusiliers and trevally hunting in the passing current
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
The dry northwest monsoon brings flat seas and reliable visibility across the Fam Islands.
