This dive site, aptly named 'Wall Street', is located in the Philippines, further south along a significant wall that originates near the Malayan Wreck. It is characterized by a dramatic underwater topography, featuring a steep drop-off that physically plunges to depths of 50-60 meters. However, the recreational maximum depth for this site is typically 25 meters. The site also boasts a wonderful and colorful coral garden on its reef top at shallow depths of 3-5 meters, making it an excellent spot for both starting and concluding dives. There is no specific historical information or story provided about the naming beyond its descriptive physical characteristics.
The marine life at Wall Street is a bounty revelation, particularly rich in reef fish. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of fusiliers, a variety of triggerfish, soldierfish, snappers, angelfish, surgeonfish, pufferfish, cardinalfish, and butterflyfish. The vibrant and healthy coral garden provides a rich habitat for these species, contributing significantly to the stunning underwater scenery and biodiversity.
The shallow reef top at 3-5 meters makes this dive site highly suitable for all levels of divers, including beginners, and is also perfect for snorkelers. More experienced divers and freedivers will appreciate the dramatic deep wall, offering opportunities for exploring greater depths while managing their dive profiles within recreational limits. While no specific best time to visit is mentioned, the dry season (December to May) generally offers optimal diving conditions in the Philippines, characterized by calm seas and excellent visibility. Divers should always be mindful of their depth and no-decompression limits when exploring the deeper sections of the wall.
