Lapu Wall is a vertical reef structure located in Boracay, Philippines. The site is suited for intermediate divers, with the wall dropping from 20 metres to a maximum depth of 38 metres. Visibility typically ranges between 15 and 30 metres, allowing for clear views of the reef face. Divers should expect moderate currents, though these can strengthen, requiring careful monitoring throughout the 45-minute dive. Access is by boat only. Species recorded around this area include wrasses, jawfish, flatworms, and various nudibranchs, alongside occasional sightings of lionfish, sea kraits, and octopuses. Due to the depth and potential for strong surges, advanced certification is recommended.
