ABSTRACT:
An ocean diversion wall is provided to be placed within water for preventing erosion due to wave action. The wall consists of a plurality of off shore facing segments formed as one continuous unit. Each of the segments include a base portion supported on the ocean floor. The base portion has an inclined surface to receive an incoming wave, a curved cup surface to deflect the wave upwardly and a hooked end to turn the wave back onto itself to reduce the force of the wave.
