About Batu Lima
Batu Lima, meaning Five Rocks, is a boat-access Raja Ampat reef built from five connected rock formations with slopes, ledges, canyons, and coral gardens. It is a repeat-visit site for divers who want schools of fish, reef sharks, mantas in season, and a reef profile that keeps changing as you move from the rocks to the shallows.
