Batu Kapal

Batu Kapal, in Sulawesi, isn't always on the main circuit, but it’s a site that rewards a visit, especially if you appreciate a good coral scene. We’ve found decent patches of staghorn and table corals here, creating some interesting topography to explore. The species count sits around 57, and while you might not tick off a dozen pelagics, it’s a solid spot for observing the smaller reef residents nestled among the branches. We’d suggest this site for divers who enjoy a relaxed pace and aren’t solely chasing big animal encounters. Keep an eye out for those subtle moments, like a small goby darting into a crevice.
