Batu Gosoh 1: Bangka pinnacle dive with current and shelter.
Local Bangka boats know which side of the pinnacles to use when the current changes.
Batu Gosoh 1 is a steep volcanic-pinnacle dive off Bangka Island where the current can shape the route from the first drop. The site mixes sheltered cracks, caves, and rock faces draped in soft corals, sponges, and sea fans, so it rewards careful route choice as much as it does macro scanning for morays, nudibranchs, and reef life in the blue.
