About this site
This dive site off Batong Island features dramatic granite boulders and swim-throughs teeming with marine life. Expect strong currents that attract schooling barracuda, trevally, and occasional reef sharks. The site's sloping reef transitions to sandy patches where garden eels peek from the seabed. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, revealing vibrant soft corals and anemones hosting clownfish. Night dives reveal octopus and crustaceans hunting along the rocky formations. Best dived during calm conditions due to exposed location.
