Bama Wall & Slope
Sometimes called: “The Great Wall of Pantar”, is a steep drop-off on the east coast of Pantar island opposite the island of Pura. It starts as a slope covered in corals hugging the terrain tacitly against the regular onslaught of the currents that feed the thriving biomass. The slope abruptly gives way to a wall – a shallow buttress of rock overhangs a deep sliver of a shelf amassed with sponges, crescent-tailed big eyes & maybe something special like a frogfish. After the wall we can turn a small corner with a divine shallow coral garden with dazzling anthias flitting above their little coral sponsors. Alternatively, with ample bottom time remaining one can continue along a further slope crammed with more tenacious corals, harbouring fish feeding, fish hiding & fish cleaning. Sometimes schooling humphead parrotfish, snappers, napoleon wrasse, cosy into your eyesight too.
