Friwen Wall
Friwen Wall runs along the small islands of Friwen and Friwenbonda in the north-eastern Dampier Strait. Limestone cliffs drop to about 25 m and are covered in soft corals, gorgonians and black coral. It is one of the few true walls in the central area and a good place for macro. Current is usually mild, but it can become a pleasant drift.
