Batu Goso
Batu Goso is a series of steep, coral-encrusted pinnacles rising from the ocean floor off Bangka, dived from either end as two separate drifts between about 5 and 35 m. Waves often crash on the exposed rocks. Whitetip and blacktip reef sharks, turtles, groupers and schools of batfish, butterflyfish, bannerfish and snappers are typical, and mackerel and dogtooth tuna are sometimes seen.
