Rakiraki bommie reef with gentle slope and macro life.
Bats Reef is a Rakiraki reef dive built around a small bommie and a gentle sloping wall covered in soft and hard coral. It suits easy reef and macro-focused dives, stays appealing across a wide range of conditions, and is best treated as a relaxed, color-rich site where the reef structure and sheltering life matter more than route complexity.
