East Wall

Netrani Island · India

East Wall is Netrani's most dramatic topography — a near-vertical basalt face that drops from 6 metres at the surface to beyond 40 metres, encrusted with large sea fans, black coral bushes, and sponges in the deeper section below 25 metres. The wall faces open ocean and concentrates an extraordinary diversity of reef fish in its crevices: schools of glassfish part before hawkfish and lionfish, while sweetlips gather in recesses and batfish cruise mid-water against the face. Visibility on East Wall is consistently the best at Netrani, regularly reaching 25 metres in the northeast monsoon season when the prevailing current sweeps the face clean.
