Batu Mandi is a submerged pinnacle in the Banda Islands that is exposed to currents. This makes it an excellent place to see large schools of fish, particularly fusiliers and snappers, as well as hunting dogtooth tuna and giant trevallies.
Features
A submerged seamount that acts as a cleaning station and feeding ground. The currents attract a high density of fish life, including large schools that completely envelop the pinnacle. Dogtooth tuna are often seen patrolling the edges.
