Batu Kapal

The name means 'stone boat', after the pinnacle's resemblance to a shipwreck. Wannadive says the interesting part of the dive starts at about 40 m and the caves lie near 60 m, so it is for very advanced divers only. Two Fish Divers describes the surrounding reef as a large slope with rubble and sand that goes beyond 50 m. On an exploratory dive its divers saw two hammerhead sharks here, and Wannadive mentions dolphins or pilot whales. Nain is about an hour or more by boat from Bunaken and sees few divers.
