About Batu Kelebit

15 minutes from Tulamben Bay by Jukung (a traditional fishing boat with a maximum capacity of 3 divers) there are two large underwater boulders. They lie just offshore from a point which is marked by a crest of lava. This site consists of steep ridges covered in many varieties of hard coral, sea fans, fire coral and sponges with sandy areas in between. The colour of sand at this site differs from that at Tulamben Bay. Batu Kelebit is even richer in fish and invertebrate life than Tulamben Bay. Because of the steepness of the site (as well as the abundant amounts of plankton in the water), it is likely that you will observe large pelagic fish such as manta rays, schools of barracuda, and dogtooth tuna. You will always see white tip reef sharks at this site. The visibility at this site is excellent, which makes up for the cold temperature (due to the fact that Batu Kelebit receives deep offshore water). The current is northwest but you can get protection from the ridges at the site.
