Dive-site story
Stretching along the northern fringe of Pulau Kri in the Dampier Strait, Sorido Wall features a steep coral precipice that transitions into a sand and rubble slope. The wall is coated in sea fans, tubastrea cup corals, and sprawling sponges that thrive on the nutrient-rich flow. Divers drift along the drop-off watching pelagic predators patrol the blue while hunting for well-camouflaged macro subjects hidden in the gorgonians.
Encounters with resting tasselled wobbegong sharks tucked under coral shelves
Dense clusters of giant gorgonian fans harboring pygmy seahorses
Schools of bumphead parrotfish cruising the upper reef crest during morning hours
