Rabbit Hole (Batupahet)
Boat-access manta corridor on Nusa Penida's south coast.
Rabbit Hole (Batupahet) is a boat-access south-coast site between Manta Bay and Manta Point, known for manta transit, stronger water movement, and macro life.
About Rabbit Hole (Batupahet)
Rabbit Hole (Batupahet) is a south-coast Nusa Penida transit site between Manta Bay and Manta Point, where reef mantas and other large life move through a current-prone corridor. It suits intermediate and stronger divers who want a dynamic boat dive with changing conditions, a deep cleaning-station profile, and plenty of macro life. Expect a guided boat plan, shifting swell windows, and an underwater route that is more about timing and movement than a relaxed reef cruise.

Scuba Diving
Guided boat dive for intermediate and stronger divers; the draw is manta transit and macro life rather than a relaxed reef tour.
Freediving
Not a freedive target; the site is too current-prone and deep for casual breath-hold diving.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling site; it is better left to scuba because the action sits deeper and the water movement is part of the challenge.
