    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Batu Karang offers a gentle drift along a sloping reef, making it a good choice for newer divers or those who just want an easy cruise. We’ve found the soft corals here are particularly vivid, forming colourful backdrops for resident clown anemonefish. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, like the tiny Largemouth and Northern Bicoloured Triplefins tucked into crevices. Visibility averages around 16m, providing decent viewing of the coral structure and its many small inhabitants.
