Random wall we found while going to the SS City of Sydney. The fisherman were on the wreck, so rather than heading back to the New Guinea marks which we didn't trust we decided to do the wall we found on the sounder. it's basically off the point between the two wrecks and starts at about 24m and rises up to around 14m.
Turned out to be a really nice wall with a good amount of fish life, and even some kelp beds.
Few port jacksons as well as a catshark. Overall it was quite a good dive.
Would have been even better with good vis.
