About this site
Bati Hitam lies within the Bunaken Kepulauan area off North Sulawesi, near Manado on the northern arm of Sulawesi, Indonesia. The site sits within a region known for its steep volcanic drop-offs into the Celebes Sea, reached by short boat trips from Manado or the surrounding coastal villages. The reef here reaches a maximum depth of around 21.3 metres, and divers have reported strong current at times.
