About Aore Wall

A very sheltered wall reef situated inside Aore Bay and close to Richards Place in the Segond Channel. As you can guess, Aore Wall makes a great drift dive ! Here you will have an easy entry following a gradual sloping sand bottom to a maximum depth of 25 meters. This wall is completely coral encrusted and teeming with marine life. Beautiful underwater landscapes and abundant marine life. Very relaxing dive with great drifting capabilities.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

  • Eddy Pull-Off Zones — Eddies behind structures can pull divers away from the main drift line.

  • Delayed Surface Pickup — Strong current can exceed surface tracking assumptions, delaying boat pickup.

  • Vertical Current Shear — Currents may vary by depth, causing vertical separation even when divers stay together.
