About Batu Kelebit
Batu Kelebit is a boat-accessed Tulamben reef built around steep rock ridges, white sand lanes, and an open-water layout that feels less protected than the bay sites. The profile rewards slow reef passes, good trim, and comfort with changing current, making it a better fit for confident divers who want coral structure and bigger reef fish than a simple sheltered reef drift.
