About Batu Kangan

Batu Kangan is a steep wall dive with an old fishing net that has been overtaken by marine growth, so the site works best as a slow macro run rather than a wide scenic swim. The usual route keeps the wall on the left shoulder and spends time around the net, where small critters gather. High tide is the preferred timing, and the site rewards divers who like patient wall-following and close inspection of the reef edge. It is more of a texture-and-macro site than a pure coral panorama.

Local Intel For Batu Kangan

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba

This is a wall-following macro dive with the old net as the main critter zone, so move slowly and inspect the structure carefully.

Freedive

The shallow shelf can suit relaxed freediving on calm days, but the wall-and-net layout makes this primarily a controlled scuba site.

Snorkel

Snorkeling is possible in the shallow sections on a good tide, but the site is better suited to divers than casual surface cruising.
