Location
of the dive site :
NAIN ISLAND NEAR MANTEHAGE ISLAND
|
25. Batu Kapal
/ Jalan Masuk
Batu Kapal means
"Stone Ship" and refers to a large rock in the shape
of a ship. It lies rather deep and beyond the limit of normal
scuba diving.
It is a good quality reef, with good hard and soft coral and a
great variety of fish life.
Jalan Masuk is the other site at Nain and means "passage".
It is almost the only place where boats can enter the fringing
coral reef that surrounds the island.
Nain is the most northern island of the park. Because of it's
distance from LumbaLumba Diving, we have to leave earlier and
only if everybody agrees to dive here. There is good marine life
to observe, but visibility can be a little disappointing and currents
strong.
