About Batee Dua Gapang
Snorkel out to Batee Dua (Two Rocks) and start the deep part of your dive at 30m and head back to the shallower reef closer to the beach. Look out for the reef sharks, the manta rays, eagle rays, the blue-spotted ribbon tail rays and blue spotted stingrays. You could also make a long shallow beach dive and stay in the bay part of the house reef. Up until 14m you'll see different hard corals and big waving leather corals. The 4 local residential hawks bill turtles are found here. Whale sharks have been spotted in September, October and November while snorkelling.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Situational Awareness Loss — Divers may fixate on sharks and lose depth or position awareness.

  • Subtle Behavioural Shifts — Changes in shark behaviour may be missed without active observation.

  • Blue-Water Reference Loss — Lack of visual references increases ascent and descent instability.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Bubble Trapping Under Overhangs — Rock overhangs can trap exhaled bubbles, reducing visibility and causing disorientation.

  • Reflected Surge Patterns — Surge reflecting off rock faces can create irregular and unpredictable water movement.

  • Current Funnel Effect — Narrow gaps between rocks can accelerate water flow unexpectedly.
