Star walls is vertical granite cliff 25 meters high by 100 meters wide.
The rock face is encrusted with orange and pink noble coral with lots of other colorfull invertebrate life in between.
The site was only discovered in 2006 and is still in pristine condition as it can only be reached by boat and the nearest launch place is Hout Bay.
Due to the 32 meter depth it is for advanced divers only and an MPA (Marine Protected Areaa) is required to dive here.
MPA permits can be bought at any post office at a cost of 94 ZAR
