It went on for a few hundred meters before it joined with the flatter reef -- we didn't go very far because it was a drift dive and there was some current.
@@PawlikLab thank you for the reply, it seems this great white wall is causing quite a stir in the world at the moment. Check out th-cam.com/video/t8DtyEJuD4c/w-d-xo.html with auto translate on, I would love to know what you think of this!
@@PawlikLab I thought the reef's condition after 2016 cyclone was a disaster. I am hapy to see this. The "white wall" seems pretty red, is it because of the light you use or is there actually a great amount of red corals?
@@charles-antoineboutin2647 Yes, Rainbow Reef was spared the worst of the 2016 cyclone, according to the locals. And, yes, the color balance adds red to the image, so some white things appear pink.
Pawlik Lab yes you must dive the White Wall at low tide (2-3 days after full moon is even more optimal). I am guessing you requested to dive the wall regardless of the conditions as many do. I hope you enjoyed Garden Island and Divemasters Anne and Leo. They are veterans of Rainbow Reef.
you missed out on soft white corals snow flakes!!
How long does this wall go on for? Can you see the edges or is it continuous?

Yes, timing is everything with these soft corals!
