About this site
Tanjung Husi is a slope on the west coast of Bangka Island, suitable for both diving and snorkelling. A gentle coral slope runs to around 8 m, then becomes a wall that drops to about 25 to 30 m. The currents can be strong, so it cannot be dived on every visit, but they make it a good drift dive.
Giant frogfish are common, and blue ribbon eels and leaf scorpionfish live in the reef. Nudibranchs hide from the current, and the passing water makes it one of the best spots around Bangka for larger pelagics. Whitetip reef sharks sometimes pass below, and tuna are frequently seen zooming by in the blue.
