About Batee Tokong
Often dived along with Shark Plateau. Batee Tokong means 'Central Rock'. It has scenery is amazing and it is teeming with marine life. Batee Tokong tends to be a favourite site for most short and long term divers in Pulau Weh. So far all visitors have agreed that it is the #1 Moray place in the world: fimbriated, giant, white eye, snowflake, whitemouth, yellowhead, zebra and yellow margined. Blue ribbon eels reaching out for orange anthiases, honey comb morays living together with their giant cousins and our local unique variety of the masked moray outnumbering all these other morays together by far. Swim over a few square metres of rocks and count at least a dozen of these morays sticking their heads out of their hiding places. This site is a round plateau with one of the rocks sticking out of the water forming a vertical wall of about 20m. A steep slope densely covered with fan gorgonions continues downwards until well over 40m, where a second wall starts.

Dive Site Hazards

  • 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.

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

  • Gradual Narcosis Onset — Narcosis may develop slowly, making self-assessment unreliable.

  • Task Fixation at Depth — Cognitive narrowing at depth can reduce awareness of time and ascent rate.

  • Increased Gas Density Breathing Load — Higher gas density at depth increases work of breathing.
