Douglas Bay Wall
About this Dive Site
Description
Douglas Bay Wall presents a more gradual slope rather than a sheer drop, transitioning from shallower rocky areas to deeper sand. While not a dramatic wall dive, it supports a good range of benthic life, including sponges and anemones, with common fish species and crustaceans inhabiting the crevices. It's a site for observing the transition of marine communities with increasing depth.
